Default Black Coralline?
On some of my live rock, I have the typical pink coralline algae hanging out, but on one piece, it looks like there's black coralline.

I've done a search on here, but could not find nothing describing the same thing.

Any ideas?

if it is a sponge they filter feed if you have phyoplankton they filter that out of the water.
