My 3 humble equipments that keeps my tank running... [DRIED OUT]

1. The RSM itself of course 2.My NEW Deltec MCE-300 Skimmer 3. My trusty Arctica Chiller

Tank parameters:

Temperature maintained at 25.3'C to 24.7'C

It is kind of soft, and is light red colour.

May be is sponge like what bro said. Will check it out.. seem to be growing..

TQ

Is it purplish colour and hard, brittle like rock? Could be coralline algae. I have such kind of coralline growing on my LR also.

I also have these on tonga rock. Hope someone can identify it. Doesn't seem to be sponge because cannot see any holes where water flows like most sponges.
