Glowing red algae, what is it?

[jeffchapok]

I have this Saturday single patch of red algae that glows intensely under blue light. The picture below does not do it justice. I have lots of red algae, but this is the only patch that glows. Any idea what it is? The tank has been running just over 2 months.

I hope it's good, because it's actually quite pretty.

Is it soft or hard like coralline I know spots of new coralline will glow super red and pink in my tank under blues

I haven't touched it. I'd say it looks soft, but sometimes these things' looks are deceiving. The next time I need to reach in for something, I'll check it out.

Get some acrylic rods for poking around in your tank. I got mine from BRS and they come in handy.

It's soft and slimy and brushes away easily.
