kmacc05 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I just noticed tonight that I have a bright green algae growing in some spots. I read elsewhere that coraline starts out green before the pink and purple comes in. Is this true? Its not soft or hairy. And doesnt seem to come off when i scrub it. If this is evidence of coraline, I am happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bige Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 It can be few different colors. But usually ends up purple. Not always but usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmacc05 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Ive noticed it after adding a flake food into the mix of mysis and brine. Dont know if that has anything to do with it. Also have noticed little black spot on my two clowns after adding my gbta. Any insight on that? Sorry to change the subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Bio)³ Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 the black spots on the clowns are because they are being stung by the nem and adapting to those stimulants. Thanks victoly for telling me about this! This could also be diseases but I'd bet with the new nem its signs of stinging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mFrame Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 There are actually quite a few colors of coraline. I have dark green, light green, pink, and maroon in various places on my rock. I love the mottled look, and notice that over time the quantity of each color ebbs and flows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
