It does not come off with a turkey baster…

Initial thought is red cyano.

If you brush at the bigger patches and it comes off and dangles in the flow like you'd expect wet newspaper to , it's cyano.

If it doesn't come off with a brush, then my next guess is a red coralline (good thing).

The turkey baster is a hard tool to use as a gauge with smaller patches of cyano, and more appropriate it's really matted over a larger area.
