Coraline or red cyano?!

[reeftanker17]

I believe I have crushed coral in my tank... I bought it established... so I didn't know if this could be coraline or most likely red cyano...

Cyano for sure

indeed that is a genus of cyanobacteria. The question is what type?
Don't stir it up as it will spread. The best thing to do in such a small section is to carefully scoop that section of sand up ad wash it under HOT water.
