help-do i have a problem

[bia1985]

I have fiji and tonga rock in my 150 gal tank and on one of my tonga rocks i have a patch of burgundy colored egg loooking growth. At first I thought it was suppose to be growing on there but after searching around this site I am scared it may be something else. I have also noticed that the little sponges or whatever is growing on my figi rocks-has little bubbles on the end of their tenticles. Is that normal? I tried to take a pic to attatch but it didnt come out.

I am new to this adventure so I hope this make sense and that someone can give me advice.

Thnks

But let's try just for the heck of it. Based on your brief description. Bubble Algae/Valonia sp.

he said the color was burgandy not green so buble alage i think is out of the ?

 

[Scooterman]

I think some of it is normal & hoping the rest is also but hard to tell at this point.

 

[blind1993]

u know it could be diatoms or dark coraline. i know diatoms are brown but under some lights they look burgandy.

 

[Reeferdude]

Aha!!! Green indeed. Some of the bubble algae is Redish..."Burgandy" Here's an example...

Looks like grape calupera smothered in cyno. Got any other shots of the tank? I would like to check it out when you get a moment.
