Looks more like a bacteria than coralline. I get this along my sand bed as well, especially when I don’t disturb it with a gravel vac. Here’s a not so great picture for reference. This was taken about a month ago but I had it handy for reference.

Absolutely! I wouldn’t be afraid to scrape it out. I’ve always thought mine was some kind of cyano algae that prefers to be in that area. Especially due to it coming off really easy. It doesn’t come back for a while but over time if I don’t disturb the sand in that area it comes back. I never find it anywhere else in the tank.

It looks like another indiscernable blue light picture!
If u don’t like the picture and I took it wrong instead of being a …. Why not ask me to take picture like the other person did. Wasn’t that hard but I feel ppl like you enjoy commenting on things like that that why I stepped away from being a supporting member because of ppl like you wanted to make sure I shared with you !!!! Next time just keep your sarcasm to yourself thank you!
