It could be a red-algae - or cyanobacteria. Is it firmly attached to the rock - or easy to blow off. Does it come and go - i.e. less in the morning, more at night after the lights have been on during the day?
 
looks like cyanno to me. just do nothing. maybe try syphoning out doing waterchange and blow it off with a turkey baster and catch it with some fleece or filter sock, but it will eventually dissapear omce the tank stabalizes a bit.
