Starting over with my tank!

Name That Coral!!

Rate this Entry
I got a few frags the yesterday and wanted to post some pics! Also I said a question on my last blog about this new bright green thin algae only growing on my dry rock I put in my tank. It doesn't grow on the live rock though. I had brown algae for a few weeks and then it went away. (still have a bit on substrate) What do y'all think about the algae? Is it normal for the maturing of dry rock?

OK, see if y'all can name these corals!!!

    i get the exact same algae when adding dry rock. snails in your tank will gravitate towards these rocks because it's the stuff they like to eat i'm guessing. it will soon be replaced by purple or maroon coraline algae.

    Hey thanks ottoruss for ya reply, at least now I can look for the coraline to happen. I do add "purple up" which has everythig for coraline to grow. It also helps hard coral growth I believe.
