Diatoms, Dino-X will cure that....
That should be a last ditch effort.

Whats your tank parameters?
How often do you do watch changes?

I wouldn’t.. it will likely just spread them faster. Raise your nutrients and dose Vibrant. This cleared up my issue in two weeks. Many have had success with UV sterilizers as well.

I’ve always wanted to try the UV, but there’s a 50/50 on it.

Vibrant is a must! best stuff in my opinion!

10% water changes every week and you'll be surprised how nice your tank looks. I would try and stay away form dosing remedies.

Normal new tank uglies, I would siphon it out on my next WC and not worry about it. Your rocks will go through stages and grow different ugly stuff before it starts to grow coralline algae. I definitely wouldn't be dosing anything in a new tank for this.

I assume it's a new tank, so I would advise against using any chemicals to get rid of any of your problems. If it is a new tank, this is just part of the uglies that everyone experiences with a new tank. When I had this issue, I did water changes more frequently and I used a toothbrush to remove the problem areas from the rocks and siphoned it where it was on the sand. I would only brush it off the rocks if you're doing a water change immediately after. Do weekly water changes for the time being and I bet it clears up quickly. You can also blackout your tank for a couple days if you'd like. But again, I would advise against hitting a new tank with any chemicals, especially when the problem isn't that bad.

Could be, could be cyano. Need a cheap microscope to be sure.
