Orange Coralline?

Did anyone spring for the "Fluorescent Orange Coralline Algae" that was being hawked by RUSALTY? I wonder how long it will be 'til they have more.

Fascinating! Never heard/seen orange before.

I'm not sure I trust them, but here's one of their photos:




FWIW, I once accidentally had some lime green coralline growing under anaerobic and low light conditions in a sealed 5G drum. It passed away a few days after I opened the bucket, and it got a dose of fresh air and light. I had a correspondence going with Ron Shimek at the time, and he agreed that it was probably coralline.

$25?!?!? And sold out?!?

I have a couple bridges I would like to sell some reefers available…..

I think my ship has finally come in! I was mucking around in my 135 stock/rock/algae-filter/sump tank this past weekend looking for a perfectly shaped rock to fit into an open spot in my DT's rock wall. And Woo Hoo! I came across a rock with green coralline algae growing on it! Now I just need to figure out how to propagate it. Or maybe I'll just sell it as is to RU$ALTY for a big credit bundle.

On a curious note: my previously mentioned stock/rock/algae-filter tank also has a rock with some neon pink sponge growing on its underside. Unfortunately, it hasn't grown much that I can see since the time I first discovered it many years back. Maybe I should I break up the rock and put a piece in a Nannochloropsis grow out system...

Could you scrape a little, crush then dust any open area in DT(with 0 flow for a while)?
Although reading you said you did find some in a closed 5g which kinda makes me think it doesn't like light to much..... Could be why it was in sump, not sure if u have fuge and any spill over from light
