I Googled ‘blue coralline algae’ and found an old thread on this forum discussing the existence of blue coralline algae.
However, the photos others posted were not very clear, and honestly, I couldn’t tell if the ‘blue’ coralline was actually blue, or if it was due to lighting.
So, I’m posting what appears to be highly blue coralline algae growing in the 30 gallon setup that my son and I set up in January (so coming up on being 7 months old).
Is there a species name for this electric blue coralline algae (if that’s what it actually is)?
The two photos were taken about two or three weeks apart if the same area of rock. Seems to have spread out a little, and there are quite a lot of other areas showing growth throughout the tank.
FYI - lighting in the photo is setting that us suppose to create the look of natural sunlight.
