??White Coraline??
I recently upgraded from a 29 to a 75g and in the 29 I was getting a nice purple coraline, but now that I upgraded the new coraline growth is white, doesnt look bad, but is this normal? All parameters are good except for a quick spike of nitrates (20ppm) but its now down (5ppm).

white corraline usually means that its dead corraline..maybe the purple corraline turned white?

yeah, i notice the same, when the rock get expose to air, the coraline dies off then will eventually grow back.

but its not the purple turning to white, the purple is still there and growing but a new growth of this white coraline is starting to grow also.

Alright enough. Anyways, LFS around here got some rocks in recently that are also growing the white coralline. I don't know where its from or if it will die off from your lighting, but its out there.

Cool, it sounds like a rare form of coraline, only blessed to a chosen few in the reefer world, due to their maticulas care and love for their tank, lol.
It does look kinda cool though! |
