It’s a little difficult to see from the photos / lighting. How long has your tank been up and running?
Certainly sounds like it is Coralline. Nicely done on the scape!This tank has been up for just under a month, however the rock itself has been in my tanks for about 6 months. I had a 55G, then moved and upgraded to a 120G, then had to downsize to a 65G per wife's request). Rock has been in water the entire time.
Can I ask, what makes you say that?No not coralline algae.

Thank you, a lot of trial and error on the scape, but it turned out pretty good.
Finally after 6 months or so I have started to learn my lesson, take your time. I've rushed too much when it comes to fish, which has resulted in some deaths and discouraging stress diseases. Definitely going to take my time, quarantine, and learn from the mistakes. This certainly is encouraging and speaks to patience if it is indeed coralline.
That’s phyto plankton.
Is that good or bad?That’s phyto plankton.
Good. Pod food.Is that good or bad?
That is good to know because I am always adding pods but I do not add phytoplankton.Good. Pod food.
My water looks a little cloudy also.Did you introduce any coralline to the tank? If not, I wouldn’t say coralline. This is heavier coralline growth on these rocks. Also, your water looks cloudy. As @Hemmdog mentioned, could be phytoplankton![]()
Could be a bacterial or algae bloom.My water looks a little cloudy also.
