Does this look like the start of coralline algae?

[kammycat2002]

Am I finally getting coralline?

 

[TheGrimReeferTx]

Not in my experience. Maybe Cyano?

 

[Snoopdog]

Am I finally getting coralline?

Nah, that is the start of cyano.

At least your tank is maturing... you should be proud.

 

[jabberwock]

You say "finally", how long has the tank been running?

I see light pink in spots and that definitely could be the start of coraline. To help it along you can hit those spots with a toothbrush, and take another pic of the same spot next week. Then you can know for sure!

as someone else said, brush it with a toothbrush....

Comes off, cyano. If it doesn't, corraline.

Some purple on the rock across from the snail in the first picture that could be coraline.

It’s kinda of like waitin for the water to boil for the macaroni, just sayin.

 

[kammycat2002]

Nah, that is the start of cyano.

Crying when will my cyano battle end

You say "finally", how long has the tank been running?

I think it’s been about 8 months. I had a really rough start cause i didn’t get enough CUC in the beginning so I had a real bad algae bloom. I think I’m finally starting to gain control of it. You live and you learn

Ok guys the verdict is in! I scrubbed this patch with a toothbrush and IT DIDNT COME OFF I FINALLY HAVE CORALLINE!! Thanks everyone for the advice!（＾ν＾）
