Red hair algae?

Seems to be mostly on my leather coral, and a few rocks.

Lighting was hard to capture, but it's a brownish color.

Boy I can’t make anything out from those pictures but does it come off the rocks easily? Does it have any structure ie fern like look to it etc?
 
Just suck the stuff off. Add more flow to the area and see if the stuff doesn’t come back.
 
Looks like Cyaano shadowed on the pics. If you can take a turkey baster and blow the stuff Loose, it Is Cyano. Siphon it up, lower whites a little on light and verify Phos level.
Reduce amount of food fed, and my best success in getting rid of it was use of ChemiClean
