    Do you think this is coralline algae? It wouldn't come off with a toothbrush, but I've never seen it look like this. I might just be too paranoid haha.

    The red plate like structure? Definitely looks like it could be. It has a variety of growing patterns and colors.

    If it is mixed in with other colors like purple, which i think i see in your pic and it won't come off when your brush it. I would say yes. In my tank I have a 2 differnet colors. A redish color and a puprle color.
