Coralline Algae

[5ft24]

So, how soon should I expect to see Coralline?
My tank, started with Live rock that I cooked at 140 degrees when a pump failed in the garage, then kept good water and circulation on for another month an a half, cycled my tank within a couple days! Started it last saturday evening, and as of this morning, I have coralline on a couple of the rocks!!
I need to pull and re-do my rockscape with pillars etc, but will it hurt the Coralline to be out of the water for 20 or 30 minutes?

Thanks!

If you have good circulation it can take up to about 6 months to see large amounts of coralline. Also It may look nice, but scrap it off your glass now rather than later when its a pain.

No...It's an algae. Pretty resilient stuff. Simply rescaping your tank won't hurt it.

Use purple up! It will help out.

No prob it stays out of the water during shipping for 3-4 days. Keep it moist and you'll be good. You should notice some growth in the first month or two. Scrape some from a friends glass or maybe from your lfs add it to what you've got it will settle everywhere.
