What is taking over!

I bought this jingle bells cyphastrea coral a few months ago and it's growing really well however I have this section this getting taken over. Does anyone have a clue to what it is? Is it coraline algae?

I have never heard of coralline encrusting a coral that is alive. It looks like an infection of some sort from here, keep an eye on it. If it gets worse you might need to dip it, bummer because it looks very healthy otherwise...

oh man! I will and thanks! I hope I don't have to dip cause it has already started to grow on my large rock and it's a bottom one in a stack!
