I would appreciate any help to identify this algae (or bacteria?) and advice for removal.

I've managed to remove most of the thick growth with a combination of small hermit crabs and a lot of manual removal. Now I'm left with a thin red growth over most of the rock. At some point I thought it could be cyano and I tried Chemiclean treatment, but it did nothing at all, so I assume it's not cyano.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
