Not sure what it is but the astreas love it and have been slowly getting rid of it. Any ideas?
Weird dark purple on rocks, any idea?

It looks like coralline algae. Asteria stars love it.

That's cyano if it's the stuff on the rocks in the back.

Really? That's crazy. I've never seen it so dark in my years. Need to figure out why it suddenly appeared. Luckily the astreas I just added are going after it so I don't suspect it to get worse. They are slowly but surely eliminating it.
