Does coralline algae fluoresce pink?

[KatieFloy]

I was checking out my tank this morning and noticed some spots on my rock that were fluoresceing pink. There is a lot of coralline growing on my rock and glass, but not all of it is fluoresceing, just a few spots here and there. Does anyone know if this is coralline or if it is something else?

In my experience, you'll get a pinkish fluro effect when the coralline dies.
Do you have asterina star fish in the tank?

I get the same thing. When the Coralline dies back for whatever reason it glows pink under the Atinics.

I've seen one asterina in the tank, which probably means there are more. May need to move my harly over to this tank since it just finished cleaning out the other one if that's the problem.

asterina touched it for sure. They are not an issue unless they touched corals zoanthids IMO. They flourish with nutrients.
