I have had my 75 up for a couple of months now and about a week ago I noticed that there were little white bugs running around on the glass, they were pods of course. so today I threw in a royal gamma and a ocellaris clown and this evening I decided to get close and look at my pods and what not, I was like WHOA! those pods are getting huge! So I look closer and there are actually tons of purple coraline blooms all over the glass, rocks, powerheads and my couple of fake plants that I have for the time being. When I got my live rock only one had the C.A. on it, but it was covered, looks like paint.
So my questions are this:
1. Does this C.A. growth mean anything? is it a sign something is good or bad?
2. Does it impact my chemistry in a +/- way?
3. Should I keep it or scrape it off?
EDiT - Last I checked, before my last 10g water change on saturday my prams were AM -0 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - 20 KH - 180 Ph 8.4
