On the live rock I got from TBS I have a small (1/4" or less) patch that fluoresces orange under my blue LEDs.  When I look at it under my 14K MH it looks like coralline algae that is a maroon color.  Not certain if it is coralline or a coral.  Any thought?

I had some corraline that did that to.  At least I assume it was corraline I never really asked anyone.  It was a very dark red on the rock surrounded by regular purple corraline.  At first I thought it was red slime until I looked closer.  Very cool!
