What is this on my live rock?
Hey guys, just wanted to see if any of you know what's growing on my live rock. Been cycling for 3-1/2 weeks now and there are red growths that have grown bigger since I put the rock in.
  Here's my setup, it reflects two of my favorite things: wine and the ocean

Chaotic Reefer: Ok, thanks for the info, just wanted to make sure it's not something unwanted! My tank is a Current Cardiff, I love it so far. I have a JBJ LED unibody for lighting and it looks nice.

Those red growths are most likely foraminiferans. (harmless)
