I really like it! The tank looks super healthy to me and the fish look as cooktop as can be! I didn't mean to rhyme there....:) But, anyway, nice job! How big is your tank?

You can seed for coraline algae, or to take the long rout, you can buy a piece of live rock that already has some on it and wait for it to spead. That's what I did and it takes a long time.
 
Looks pretty nice. The cleaner wrasse is picking parasites off your fish. I`ve never known one to live longer than 4 months. They dont do good in home aquariums.
 
I have 2 cleaner wrasses as well that eat prepared foods :) they love brine shrimp lol

Don't worry about that, some tanks get coraline algae sooner than others. Just wait, the time differs for everyone. It'll be fine; I promise! :)
 
No, it's not, it's a good looking algae that is beneficial to the system.
 
i don't know how beneficial it is, but people seem to like it and want it. it can be a nuisance, because it needs to be scraped off of the glass with a blade, rather than just a mag float. as stated before me, it needs to be introduced in order to grow.
as for the question of a healthy tank, coralline algae has nothing to do with it. the lack of nuisance algae and cyanobacteria is a good sign though (though it's not seen in these pics, i have commented on your other post about the open top tank).

There is no nuisance algae in the tank now that was an early pic from when I did have a few probs........I cut down on feeding done v regular pwc and cut lighting time down it done the trick!!
