Not on any of my other tanks except this one. I have this red - almost pink algae that grows on my glass exclusively. Doesn’t blow away so it’s not cyano- doesn’t grow like coralline. I have to use a blade to get it off as flipper scrapper doesn’t press down hard enough to remove. Thanks in advance.

Coraline can be that dark, but it looks more like cyano to me.

If it wipes with a sponge, its cyano. If not, its coraline.

It’s harder to remove than my pink coralline
