Coralline Algae or ??

[strgazr27]

It's crazy as there is nothing in my tank so to speak but I spend an hour at least daily looking at it Lol.

I added about 15 lbs of cured rock 2 days ago and was wondering if someone could tell me what the pinkish/purple patches with the nubs sticking out of them are? I was under the impression Coralline was smooth surfaced almost. Am I right?

Part of me is hoping it's the start of GSP's as they are one of my favorites but am likely wrong Lol...

Thanks for any help!

*Sorry about the cruddy pics. Took these with my X and cropping kills it sometimes*

Anybody?

Not too sure what it is but not all coralline algae is smooth. There are plating and branching ones as well.

Not GSP at all it's some form of calcareous algae of some sort.
