The way to get coralline is to get a scrap of it and then placing it in your tank. There is a company that sells a bottled version of coralline algae. Becareful with purple tech and things like purple up as they can raise things such as calcium, iodine, etc. very high if you aren't needing to dose them.

Don’t use purple tech and purple up if you’re already using other chemicals speaking from experience. added sand to my tank and thought It would be a good idea to add this a day or two after adding sand. one of my clownfish passed away .. perfectly healthy fish just couldn’t take the two changes in an environment IMO..
