Help!! Coraline??

Vque90 · Jun 23, 2019

Hello!! I was cleaning my equipment and noticed this on one of my pumps in my tank.
My tank is at 2 months or so.

Is this coralline algae or something else I should be worried about?

Caroline. Totally normal. Just clean it off equipments or areas you do not want it to have the caroline

Yes, at least some of that purple/ dark red stuff is.

The five yellow dots isn’t and I’m not sure what that is?

First photo expand the picture and look at the spot on the equipment that is obscuring your right index finger at the second knuckle.

The spot of “coralline” there has 5 raised dots that almost look like a tiny challis coral?

It’s smaller than a pencil eraser but larger than a pencil point.

Sir your articulation is on point, I didn’t even notice it. I put the pump back in the tank. I’ll keep an eye on it.
