Dipping for the first time - what's this?

[mOUs3y]

Hi guys,

Bought my first few corals and starting to dip for 15 min using Coralrx Pro. The first goni was ok but was wondering what this red stuff was on the wall hammer. I tried to scrub with toothbrush and nail, but it wouldn't come off.

Looks like coralline algae. Good stuff.

Looks like foraminifera to me. Nothing to worry about

Thank you for the quick replies. I was always scared of worms growing up and this is making me get over it really fast. Also seeing the slime come off the corals makes me realize that they ARE really a living thing.
