White coralline

[DavidMackie]

Hello everyone

My tank has been going about 2 months and now hitting the ugly stage. I purchased reclaimed dry rock from my local fish store when setting up which some already had coralline on. The coralline is now turning white. I have ordered a calcium test kit but would this coralline even be live if the rick was stored on a shelf in the shop ?

Any opinions would be great incase I’m overthinking this ‍

Nah, that'll be dead. Then again, so will any pest stuff from the previous tank, so it's not all bad news. Welcome to R2R

I wouldn't bother with a calcium test for this, and I wouldn't concern with coraline only 2 months in.

Post a pic if you like for identification, but if it was a rock from the shelf, its not live coraline.
