Can you buy pink algae for an aquarium?

Coralline Algae starter packs are available for you to introduce it into your tank, or you could obtain scrapings from another tank. One of the ways you can get this algae to reproduce is to turn of skimmers and filters and just leave the powerheads running. Scrape coralline on tank sides other places, and turn skimmers/filters back on.

The only pink algae available in a fish tank i know of or have found is in a saltwater tank. If you import live fiji rock and let it cycle for one month, then introduce it into the fish tank pink algae will grow. Just make sure you cure the rock before placing in the fish tank.
