Just sort of interesting

I just find it interesting the variety of colors coralline algea comes in
Curious to know if it is diffrent species or if tank chemistry, light, or flow has a play onto the color it grows in

Wish I could grow some of this.

I would think that light has a lot to do with enhancing natural color; interesting question.

Yea i figured but that really is some nice algea

Are the different colors caused by anything (water perameters, light, etc.) or is it a different type of coraline algae?

Theres different types. Some are even plating(like montipora) and branching too.

I think water, light, etc. may enhance the natural coloration which depends mostly on the animal's gene-environment interaction.
