Yeah bro it glows reddish with the moonlights and coralline is growing in my tank
 
I have it in my reef also. Funny thing is sometimes it glows and sometimes it doesn't. I annotated confident it is coraline.

Right it doesn't glow all the time its nice to see but would love to know what it is
 
Ughh spell check. I meant confident. Also I have it in multiple places and glows pink to reddish under heavy blue lighting.

Jajaja yeah that's what I'm looking at
 
What's even more odd is I occasionally get neon green dots during full lighting parked on rocks, mushrooms, corals, and even seen them floating in the tank moving with the current lol.
 
I haven't notice that on my tank I'm going to look more into that
 
I have noticed the same thing in my tank. In the wild there are bioluminescent bacteria so maybe that is it.

I agree, but it could be Phosphorus deposits too. These are also luminescent. Never heard of it in a tank before, but I've seen it in freshwater lakes.
