Coraline algae or not?

[Reefer87]

Hi everyone!
My clean up crew has done wonders on my tank so far and now I’m starting to see green and purple coloration in spots. Is this coraline algae? My snails have it I think on their shells so I thought maybe they could be helping spread it around. Any thoughts on my pics would help!

could be but probably Cyanobacteria if a new tank

Looks like the start of something beautiful. Thinking coraline you should be fine. Try blowing some water on it with a pipette if you can one. If it doesn't come off you know what you got

I didn’t have that but I took a straw and blew into it the algae stayed where it was nothing blew off. It’s the same colors of algae that’s on my snails.

Looks like coralline algae to me.

I know I can’t wait! This is my second attempt at a saltwater tank. Tried when I was young and inexperienced and I killed everything. This time everything has been perfect (coz I did my research and learned a lot) I’m excited to get some corals in there!
