Question about one of my live rocks...

http://www.aznphotos.com/view.html?f=liverock2cpq.jpg


It has various colors and the picture in the center.

So this will be growing various coral?

My calcium is now around 420.

There is both green and pink coralline, and that could be. Keep your mg and calcium up (1300 mg and 420 cal) and that will encourage it.

I don't see a coral, and the dark spot could be anything (maybe a sponge?). Like Sk8r says, there's a number of different coralline algaes on the rock, but a clearer picture would be required to figure much of anything else.
