Is this coralline algae?

Just started getting coralline algae, the only place I’ve spotted it is on the power head, it’s a bright pink, but started to spot white dots on a few places around the tank, also noticed them on the return, does this look like coralline algae? they are hard, don’t just rub off.

My guess is yes but just wondering if it is coralline algae, does them being white mean they are dead? even those in the tank are white apart from the one spot on the power head.

Looks more like spirorbid worms to me. Harmless filter feeders if they are.

They look like Spirorbid worms to me as well, wouldn’t worry about them

Nope. Looking at the device likely in shade and coralline is photosynthetic.
just like @brmreefer said it is spirorbid worms

Cheers, never heard of those, glad they are on the “don’t worry list”.
