its really hard to see, my camera can't capture that

True, Caribbean rock in the back but I got scammed it's half painted, the tank is almost 3 months old and the parameters are long to list, check my lastest postThat would be my bet, as it looks like you've got some on the rock in the back (unless that's Caribsea Liferock).
Hard to tell totally though. How old is the tank? Parameters?
Highly doubt it… it will first appear on plastic such as power heads and overflows way before rocks…I swear this time it has to be coralline, it's pink in very small dots spreading fast, now today I noticed green spots on the coralits really hard to see, my camera can't capture that
Huh?? I thought it was rocks first, it was always on rocks for me I only get cyano on plasticHighly doubt it… it will first appear on plastic such as power heads and overflows way before rocks…
I agree with Troy, in that it's almost always been on plastic or glass for me first.I swear this time it has to be coralline, it's pink in very small dots spreading fast, now today I noticed green spots on the coralits really hard to see, my camera can't capture that
Sure if you buy rocks with it… if it’s an all new tank you gotta seed it some how with scrapings off a frag plug or snail etc.. it will always show up on plastic first. The bottles of spores is snake oilHuh?? I thought it was rocks first, it was always on rocks for me I only get cyano on plastic
what??? I thought coralline on plastic and glass was challenging, by the way this rock has already been through brown algae and whiteI agree with Troy, in that it's almost always been on plastic or glass for me first.
Also, for white rocks like that, it usually goes through other color algae stages first before coraline will start to come out. Be prepared for brown, and green before any pink.
I find that hard to believe by looking at it. It doesn't go back to white like that again after it truly ages through the algae stages. But, you know first hand!what??? I thought coralline on plastic and glass was challenging, by the way this rock has already been through brown algae and white
Remember, my camera is like that, on human eyes the rock is all dirtyI find that hard to believe by looking at it. It doesn't go back to white like that again after it truly ages through the algae stages. But, you know first hand!

I can't wait until my tank will look like that, being impatient over random magenta spots sounds crazy, I wonder why do people hate coralline I wish I had enough to buy an urchinYou've got some time to go at 3 months! Those colors are indicative of living creatures in your tank. Be patient and enjoy watching the spots grow and shrink and change. The first time you see a spot on the front glass is VERY exciting in your first tank in the hobby (assuming this is your first tank due to current excitement)
This rock has been in my tank for about 2.5 years and started as dry white rock like yours

Be careful what you wish for! As fun as urchins are, they are utilitarian and can be little jerks when it comes to rearranging frags. I've had mine rip frag plugs out of the puddy on my rock!I can't wait until my tank will look like that, being impatient over random magenta spots sounds crazy, I wonder why do people hate coralline I wish I had enough to buy an urchin
