not sure where the edit button is...

my rocks look very green. like neon green. is this some type of coraline or is it micro algae? it doesnt look fuzzy and its all over the rocks. i have 6 nass snails, 1 fighting conch, 6 blue leg hermits, and 1 emerald crab for a cuc.

It could be coraline algae. Do you have any pictures?

My nano is encrusted with a very dark green coraline.

Not uncommon in a new tank. Its probably film algae, once your coraline gets going, it will cover that.

Good luck and welcome aboard.
