Is this Cyanobacteria or Coralline algae?

Could someone please ID these ? Newbie here.
If this is Cyanobacteria, how do I get rid of this ? I don’t have any fish, added 4 snails and 2 shrimps yesterday. Have 4 frags.

If your tank is really new… like months, there’s a good chance it’s cyano. I can’t make it out. But it could be coralline seeded from your rock or elsewhere. Cyano can be siphoned off easily, coralline will not at all; for next time you do a water change.

Thank you for your reply. It’s brand new, 10 days old.

Adding couple more photos with bright light. Hope this helps.

Im no expert and can’t tell much from the photos, but at 10 days old tank doubt it’s coralline, takes a good while to grow, if what you are seeing is new and wasn’t on established older live rock added to the tank at start.

Just use a turkey baster and see if it blows off.....if it does, it is cyano.
