What are your water parameters? If coraline algae is what your referring to. Stable parameters are key. Unfortunately though it can be a bit finicky. Some tanks grow coraline like mad, and others (myself included) can't grow it to save their lives
as long as your coral looks good I wouldn't be to concerned with coraline
