Bright lime green is common, it will eventually be overtaken by the purple variety (at least mine always has). So not a problem

the wierd thing is that it is on the back glass and was purple already and is turning green in spots ???

the tank is only 6 mths old and i have not seen this happen before, and it has changed in a matter of 3-5 days.

Well the issue is "What is the green" soft or hard algae?

You could be moving into a period of some other algae outbreak.

And you are correct, purple coraline going green is odd.

I would not get to worried about it either way, tanks under a year old can do funny things
