Corraline Algae

What are the colors of corraline algae? Does it only grow close to the rocks or does it branch out and grow up?

It is usually pink or purple, it grows in flat circles on the rocks and glass, not upwards.

Purple Plate Coralline Algae

It does exist, but I've only seen it myself very few times and was unsuccessful at moving it into my tank. Good luck and happy reefing.

That's interesting, I've never seen that before...

I have only in two tanks. It seemed to be in spots of extrememly high flow, but I was unsuccesful at moving it to mine.
