If you mean the pink tint, yes that’s coralline. I couldn’t make anything else out. Were you asking about something else?

Oh yeah, totally normal.

It'll get very ugly but just keep persisting and be patient. There are no miracle cures when it does.. just waiting and letting the system find its balance.

I would add them slowly if possible.

Most people run into problems when they add 10 now and 9 die from starvation which adds lots of nutrients to the water and your algae goes out of control.

I'd add one small snail like a trochus and when it cant keep up, add another two and so on. Give it a week or so in between additions.

This is exactly what i was thinking cause a dead snail is no good and would cause all he'll in there. Specially if it dies in a tuff spot. So i should add 1 now or wait a little longer as i dont feel its crazy yet? I am a Rookie at this stuff
