Red Bubble Algae w/ Orange Glow/Coloring
– 07/01/07
Hey WWM,
My tank has had a red bubble algae outbreak, and I am currently in the process
of removing it by removing the live rock from the tank in a separate bucket,
<Mmm... not a useful approach... Need to discern, address the root cause/s
allowing this proliferation...>
and removing the bubbled colonies with a toothbrush by scraping them off.
Hopefully this is the best way, since it is not happening in my tank and I am
limited the spore amount,
<Only takes one...>
with exceptions to some sticking to my LR. Back to my question. I happened to
notice then when I put only my actinic lights on, some of the algae has orange
dots or coloring on them that shines noticeable in the tank.
<Yes... neat!>
I also noticed there was an orange color on a part of my live rock, but it
disappeared after a week. What is this? Is it even something I should need to
worry about?
Thanks
Joe
<Mmm, a sort of bioluminescence... Not to worry... but to enjoy, appreciate...
