Bleaching Coraline
Lately I noticed that my coraline was fading, but now it is completely bleaching in some areas. The only thing different is I have been dose Ms. Wages pickling lime. About a teaspoon per gallon per day. All of my SPS and LPS corals are doing fine.
Any ideas? Thanks. Current Aquarium(s) Description: 55 gallon/20 gallon sump/Aquactinics TX5/LPS/SPS Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 3 years Other Intrests: My truck, wakeboarding, and golf. I also enjoy working....

Re: Bleaching Coraline
Coralline tends to do that sometimes.I have no idea why.
Mine will grow good,then bleach out,the grow again.

Re: Bleaching Coraline
Exactly what Yote said.....I don't understand it myself.It grows,then turns white then comes right back again.My calcium,akalinity,pH has been consistent all along.I'm starting to think it's part of its life cycle.

Re: Bleaching Coraline
Is it turning white in areas where the tank goes dry during water changes? I have a thick band of white coralline along the top of my tank, followed by purple beneath from where the coralline was exposed to air for just a few minutes during water changes.

Re: Bleaching Coraline
I had green Coraline algae. I put it up near the light and it bleached white. There is a relationship between the spectrum of light and the color of Coraline algae.

Re: Bleaching Coraline
also, if you have an urchin, itll scrape coralline off the rocks, with the appearance of bleached coralline.
