Help me ID THIS RED ALGAE

[Christopher Davis]

I am not sure what I’ve got growing on my rocks! And to answer the obvious it is not RED SLIME.
It floresses like a coral bright red Almost like a red mushroom would under the blues. Yet it’s encrusting like coraline?! What the heck?! I haven’t really noticed it until tonight. Any ideas?!

Don’t mind the phone pics best I could do for tonight.

Is it encrusted or does it come off with slight touch?

 

[Christopher Davis]

It is encrusted

It's a red coraline algae. It competes with the purple coraline, but I found it's restricted to growing on the socks and doesn't grow on the glass. I have a mixture in my tank

It’s kinda pretty the fact it somewhat floresses is sweet

I agree it is Coraline algae.
