Hey all, so I had a post battling GHA.

I feel I am finally winning I'm scrubbing the tank once a week and it's getting less and less. But I have noticed as the GHA has died off I am getting alot of coraline alage and this unusual red alage, still no normal alage that snails can eat yet :(

Hard to see what algae you're talking about, still closeups in white light would help. Coraline comes in a wide variety of colors. Could also be cyano. And there's some other read algaes that form films on rock but won't wipe off like cyano and dosen't form a crust like coraline.
