JDSquared Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Except the coraline. That's pretty easy to figure out lol. 3 pictures. The first shows coraline on the left. On the right is very red but I believe it's still coraline from what I was reading today. 2nd picture shows my big rock. You can see the purple but it's under all this dusty white hair. Same kind that I think is showing up on my glass now. But most of those on my glass move like their alive. Not like their being moved by current. 3rd picture shows this Brown stuff I just discovered when I turned over the rock. Thought it was a bristlestar at first. I was trying to look these up. Lots of info on cyano and diatom but it doesn't look like those. My nitrates are up at 20 btw. Changed 5 gallons last Friday. I have 3 mixing now. It was too off water but I'm trying to being salinity up too. Thank you! Well I should add pictures! I hit send instead. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 The white stuff isn't algae - its most likely a sponge. Dark red is coralline as long as it is hard. Link to comment

JDSquared Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 I'll have to look up aphasia. I forgot about that one. And I'll get a better pic. That big rock... It Has a few different kinds of sponge I guess. I'm going to name it my pineapple rock. Link to comment
JDSquared Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 *aphasia. What a weird autocorrect. I looked at pictures and didn't think it was aiptasia. Looked like tubes on Google. Now I came home to take a new photo and when I zoomed it looks a lot like aiptasia. The red is coraline. So that's two solved. The big rock... Its not showing up right. I have this neon sponge and also this plastic looking purplish sponge. But also this tan very light hairy stuff all over. I don't know. It grows around where the coraline is growing too. It brushes off with a finger but I'm not sure I should be spreading it like that. Link to comment
