Thanks anyway....I'm stumped on this one. Tanks 3 years old and I never remember seeing anything like this before.
Only recent changes have been 1) dripping kalk for top off water 2) feeding nori 3) switched from IO to Reef crystals (IO) 4) Different lights about 3 months ago.
Might just be a combo of these....no big die offs lately, all of my corals look as healthy as they ever have. I'm stumped. Hope someone can give me an ID so I can figure out more.....
???

most new algaes come from switching salt, new bulbs, and increasing pH
(check, check, and check)
I went through the same thing when I tried the oceanic salt
after I got thru the first bucket it seamed to settle down
second bucket and everything was fine
then the LFS jacked the price up, and I went back to IO and
went through the same thing again
let the tank settle and it should go away
if not, try a cycle of chemi-clean
cause it looks like a strain of cyano to me

I'm starting to wonder if it's some other form of coralline that is going to take over?? I noticed last night where it's starting to look like it's plating like coralline....IDK.
Strangely, there is none of this in my refugium where I run CF lighting.....HMMMMmmmmmm Lower light parts of the display tank don't have it either. It doesn't grow on the substrate, only over existing coralline.....leading me to think I might have a new color of coralline that's going to take over....IDK.....at least it's not affecting my corals at all.....
Thanks for the bumps guys, no info on RC either....someone out there has had this and knows what it is....

Please define the following
consistency... hard, soft, slimey.
growth rate... fast, slow
growth areas... rock, glass, sand
animals that are eating it... snails, crabs, nothing
and let me know how hard it is to scrape...
