Is this coraline alge or alge. The turbo snail isn't eating it and it's starting to get all over my rocks. It's not growing fast. Tank is 3 months old

There is a such thing as green coraline algae. Does it come off when you take a stiff brush to it?

Doesn't look like coraliline algae to me, looks like algae from the newly setup. Were you using dry rock? If so, it's expecting.

 

[Ssdangeranger]

Yeah I used dry and some live rock

And it does come off but I gotta scrub a while and when It gets on the glass I got to use a razor blade

I'm getting a uv sterilizer soon so if it is alge it is bad alge it won't grow much longer

I agree it doesnt look like coraline algae. Here's a piture of the green coraline. Grows just like the purple stuff!

Thanks for the pic. Looks like what is growing on my rocks. I would rather have the purple though
