Since I started my tank in December here is an update/pic of how it's going. The Coraline algae is really starting to grow.

2 1300 gph wave makers and a 800+ gph SunSun 5 stage canister filter and a Eheim heater.
Current Ramp Timer Pro Digital Lighting
Last but not least 2 clownfish and 4 crabs, 2 blue legged and 2 red legged

Hate to say it, but that doesn't look like coraline algae to me. Looks like Cyanobacteria.
 
Just grab a turkey baster, gently spray it off the rocks, suck it up, and dump it in the toilet.
 
Sorry everyone it's not coralline alge :(
LOL

Check your phosphates and nitrates. It looks as though there is not any corals in the system? drop the phosphates down to zero for a week or so
