Purple coralline dying?

[BaaMNYC]

For some reason it seems like the purple coralline is dying disappearing from my tank and there is more and more red/burgundy coralline. Is this something to be concerned with?

Parameters were all good except all was 7 and calcium at 400

Example of the red coralline

I noticed that the dark areas with not that much light. Get the deep red coraline. It look like nice coraline to me.

Yeah it doesn't look bad just the color is so bright that the rocks look blotchy. I don't mind it. Just wanted to make sure it's not something wrong per se.

Not sure, but when I added my turbo snails , they ate all of my pretty coraline

Ive had the same amount of turbo snails since i upgraded my tank to 110. Its been about 7 months.

I'd also say the coraline gets a darker red when it gets less light. I'm pretty sure dead coraline is white.

Dead coralline turns white.
Coralline comes in many different colors..different shades of purple, red, green, orange..

Whichever color you would like to end up with the most of ...do this...scrape some of the coralline you like with something sharp (a knife, scissors..) and allow it to float around in the tank..it will seed other areas with that color coralline. Maintain good flow, good lighting and your Calcium level (and good parameters in general) and your coralline should take hold. Be patient, it doesn't grow crazy fast, but it will grow if you do these things.
