Honestly if that’s the extent of it, I wouldn’t worry. The snails will get it in time. If it gets worse you can address it. It’s pretty standard for new rock to ultimately go through a succession of various life, including micro algae on the path towards becoming ”mature live rock”

A little scrubbing with a clean toothbrush can't hurt, shorter algae gets eaten quicker by snails.

Thank you for the help. I ended up putting it in. Anyway to help identify the mushroom type coral or is that all you really call it? It has these plant type things that come out that resemble Xenias
