Hrmz, from what i understand, there are different shades of coralline....they range from purple to reddish in colour...nothing to worry about in my opinion....

sorry to tell you bro..

turn from pink/purple to orange mean die off.... or in the process off dying

cos i lost about 4/9 of my water during one incident when i was sleeping and the part of the coraline alage on the liverock that was exposed for about 2-3 hours changed colour, the rest was ok..

yup

Hrmz, thats something new....in my old tank, the coralline didn't change colour....they just became more and more pale in colour and finally the whole rock turned white.

yah that also happens if the parameters are not good... same case for my fowlr tank...

coraline algae will turn whitish... true

My LR oso turn white! Already 3 mths old but yet, the coraline algae doesn't grow at all! Maybe due to lousy water parameter!

Hi ReeF_LoVeR,

I agree with fongster. I have encounted similar situations where my purple coralline turned pink, then orange and then stay orange for some time before dying off. That happened when I was restructuring my reef landscape and left some LR in the open (means on a small tub outside the tank lah).

I supposed that those coralline that changed from purple->pink->orange most probably indicate they experienced some kind of shocked. Did you do anything to your tank recently?

Hi Zappy Kiwi ,

Very Very truth... just restructuring my landscape ..

Anyway thanks all.....

Haha, okok....this is the 1st marine forum i visited and i have to say its great~! Good luck with your coralline!

those coraline that turned white indicate that they are already dead

you need a good mg, ca and kh level in order for them to grow and grow and grow... everywhere...
