Algae ID???

I'm not sure what it is and it's killing my coral please help!!

Looks like red dragon algae should not kill the coral

Is it hard or soft I remember I had this stuff on a rock. If it is hard it scatches the polyps and irritates them. Take a razor and peel it off try to grow it AL well.

It won't kill that coral at all. No worries. The hammer will outgrow that stuff; it's shading it now as it is.
