How do you kill this surper dark red variance? I want the pretty pink/purple. Its hard like to scratch off. I do not wanting to use urchins they eat silicon and power cords.

I had the same build up - they are pretty solid but you can chip them off the rocks. My frag rack looked exactly like yours and a citric acid bath took care of it.

Wouldn't the pink/purple coralline just grow over this? Red is still nice if it is coralline.

Tuxedos may go after this? I've never had urchins, especially tuxedos eat power cords, silicone, etc....
