Algae ID please!

Hey everyone-

Had this tank going for about a month now and have a few snails, a couple hermits, an emerald, and 2 cleaner shrimp going strong. Just the other day this pink algae started spreading on my dry reef rock. It somewhat looks like coralline, but I'm not sure.

Any help would be great! Thanks!

If you can blow or rub the algae off it's probably cyanobacteria, pretty common in newer systems.
If you can not physically remove it then Coralline, but it does sound like the tank is too young to really start showing pink coralline.
