Is this coralline? ID please

I don't have what see as traditional coralline growth, but I have all kinds of these small reds twigs growing in my nano. They grow very slowly.

Those are Vermetid snails. Populations usually decline as a tank ages, with that said over feeding can promote their growth.

I'm not sure how many of these you have in your tank, but the next time your arms are in the water you might want to use a small knife and see if you can pop these from the rocks.. I had a few growing on the back glass the other day and they were incredibly easy to remove. Being that yours are attached to the rocks it might not be so simple, but it's definitely worth a shot.
