Noticed this starting to pop up around my tank. It has been running for about 4 months. Any opinions?

Update: I just tried to scrape brush it off with a tooth brush and it's still there. Leaning more towards coralline now?

It could be a bit of both! If you do have cyno you will know within a week! Because it spreads like wildfire! That's if you leave your tank lights on more then 5 hours a day!

You think the spots on the right is also cyano? (It looks like a very thin red).
