Default Green Coraline

So over the past few months I have been getting overun with GREEN coraline (and also lots of purple) its not hairy or slimey and very hard to scrape off the glass.

I read that most all coraline is good, but couldn't find any specific information on green coraline. Anybody ahve any good links?

Thanks.

Filters? None really .. just about 200lbs of live rock. I just have lots of flow (mag 18 in a 72 gallon) and I skim the heck out of the water. I was running a phos reactor for a while because I was feeding cheap flake food and I was using tap water for a long time. Now im using RO-DI and I would almost say there is 3 times more green algea than purple coraline algae

I feed lots of spirulina, then switch it up randomly with mysis soaked in zoe and garlic. When I started with the spirulina I noticed the green algea begun.

I just upgraded my lighting (from ~130 watts pc to 630 watts pc + mh) and I think my coraline is going to bleach a little.
