Help red spots on rock

[reeferdaddy]

Hey guys starting to see red spots coming up on live rock and around the tank I also have some red spots on the glass I’ve been scraping off. Wondering if this is corraline or another type of harmful algae. Thanks!

Umm thats purple, and yes it's coralline.

I see the purple but there is also red

There’s a burgandy or reddish corraline also.. although I don’t see it in your photos

Sorry not seeing anything red in those photos.

Coralline can come in every color of the rainbow, but typically in our tanks with typical reef lights we see either purple or green.

I’m sorry guys I’m actually color deficient but there is a spot that is purple and crusty and then a “red” spot as well that I’m concerned about

I don’t see it but most likely corraline also

Yeah I'm just not seeing anything red in the pictures that would cause me concern.

I see dark purple in the first pic, and a lighter purple in the second that is all coralline.

Thats green and most likely just algae peeking through the coralline.
