SRC Member AREA51 Posted July 31, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 31, 2005 Do you have any pink color corals? most probably is a coral. not too sure. i have one purple carpet anemone, and initially my skimmate is a little purplish. Maybe in your case is the same after a few days should be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
