Hi all,
I have live rock with pink and red/marron coralline algae. These are starting to get white circles on them. Is this a phase of reproduction? I have looked all over the web and can't get any info. Also just got a new live rock with purple coralline its bumpy and has just started to flake a thin whitish film off areas of bumps. Lastly the purple bumps are starting to grow smaller protrusions. Any info or site recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jen

Hope the pics can help. Could the white spots be spores or do I need to buy a calcium test? I think the flaking is some die-off or adjustment to new tank.
Thanks,
Jen
