The pink things growing out of my rock and is the other one some kind of coral? It's making a mess out of my tank.

I was hoping that's what the pink was but I thought coraline was purple. Any idea on the brown fuzzy thing?

It is probably some type of algae.

Those magenta things don’t really look like coralline. Perhaps some kind of sponge or perhaps a soft coral of some kind. The other picture is hard to tell. Perhaps a soft coral too.

It's hard and the pieces can break off easily. If the pieces are live they will grow where they fall.
