Strange algae. Doesn't look like cyano.

It is a very dull and dark red, almost brown. It used to be a LOT worse, completely carpeting the sand. With patience and water changes it is now almost completely gone from the sand and is now dying on the rock. Doesn't look like cyano. Thanks for any help

If you hit it with a blast from a turkey baster does it come off or does it stay attached?
