High Nitrates can kill off some coralline and sometimes it just dies off a little bit at a time if you remove a rock and expose it to air too long.
Coralline can be fickle but I don't see anything wrong to be honest the picture very bad so it hard to tell.
Focus your camera before taking the picture so we can get a clear look it could also be some of those one worms that form calcium tubes I can't remember the name for the life of me right now though.
will try to get a better picture ... am just using phone cam.

hope nothing is really wrong with my tank

All will be okay. I've had a tank up for many years and have seen this come and go.

Google it. If you can post on here you can Google Spionid Words or Cheatoperid Worms may have misspelled that one.

I only had ambient light for one of my tanks and it has grown coralline, so some varieties require VERY little.... just as a side note. Mind you coralline grown under one intensity of light can recede when placed under another.

I wouldn't worry about it.
