I have a 90 gallon mixed reef and this algae just recently showed up. It is on the rocks and corals.

Hmmm gonna need a better pic.

First best advice is to just keep cleaning it off. Beef up the CUC. And if it lingers find the plan b.
 
I'd say that was dinoflagellates but agree a better pic is needed.

If you have access to a microscope that would confirm the ID.

Dino's will usually reform/grow to almost the exact same length they were before you removed them in just a day. Usually a good way to help ID.

Otherwise for now i agree with our resident light guy @saltyfilmfolks
