Is this red slime algae? I was hopeful it was coralline but now I’m thinking not. I have a lot of other smaller purple spots on my rock as well. Next to it is a darker blue-green algae?

If light brushing removes it, then the red patch is cyanobacteria.
 

Set it and forget it: Do you change your aquascape as your corals grow?
