Start of coralline algae?

Hi, I am trying to find out if this is the start of coralline algae (desirable) or some other thing that I have to worry about. These pics are pretty bad but if there is a certain light or angle that could help lmk! Thanks!

Think they are purple tho so hopefully is coral one. Only on part of back glass.

I think it posted 2 threads on accident. Here they are. Seem to be purplish without lights but hard to see either way.

Could you post a picture with white lights on?

Yes need white light pics. Age of the tank? Coralline typically coats plastic parts like powerheads long before glass and rocks but not always.

White lighting would be best, but yes it does look like it.
