What’s this on all my Coraline Algae ?

[Johnic]

Seems to tiny white spots all over my Coraline Algae. It doesn’t scrub off and I looked under a magnifying glass, it doesn’t look like a crustacean or worm.
Is it new Coraline growth ?

I’m an optimist, it’s growth.

Jezzzz. I hope so. I’ve never seen that before from what I remember.
I just got over dino too, I can’t deal with another pest.
It seems like it popped up quickly though

@Randy Holmes-Farley Randy, what’s your thoughts. Is this new coraline growth ? It’s only seen where the light hits the coraline. Not the shaded areas.

I took a piece of my back wall of tank that’s established and it appears I had some there that looks like barnacles. This new white stuff must be new and invasive one.
Here’s a pic off the established back wall of coraline. Zoom in.
The new stuff growing in looking at it is microscopic rings like this
Is this a bad thing ?
