Red on Rocks, but fuzzy, not slimy?

Anyone know what this could be? I originally thought cyano, but it is stuck to the rock pretty good.

Coraline?

I added a bottle of coraline a month or so ago, so maybe? But its fuzzy, I never known coraline to be fuzzy.

Maybe red turf? But it doesn’t usually grow in this pattern. If so tuxedo urchins is what worked for me.

Googling pictures of that, looks very promising that it might be that.

If so save yourself the hassle and get an urchin to take care of it for you. I tried everything and my blue tuxedo urchin was what solved the problem.

I had an urchin in my 240 and it liked to chew on my coral. Reading that mexican turbos make quick work of it too. Althought I do love the look of hats on an urchin.

Mexican turbos only mowed it down in my experience. But results may vary.
