 Re: what can u spot on rock? i dont know what the algae is, lol Are you talking about the purple or brown? purple would be corraline algae=good brown would be diatoms. If its the brown, get a little more flow and make sure everything has been cycled properly.

| Re: what can u spot on rock? i dont know what the algae is, lol The red branch almost looks like a gorgonian....which is good. Read up about the red gorgonians. I could be wrong, but I think they are photosynthetic. Does it have white or brown polyps? which pic has the tan or yellow plant?

| Re: what can u spot on rock? i dont know what the algae is, lol By the looks of the photos you have coralline algae all good stuff. Your substrate i would get rid of its a nitrate factory....go with a finer sad bed....you dont have a gorgonian .it looks to me . the start of some plant life..... good luck Brian |
