what is this red algae on the sand near the rocks? Tips to treat?

Is this the start of corraline (spelling?) algae on my rocks? It’s pinky/ purple and green/ blue.

Thanks.

First picture looks like cyno. The rest of the pictures is a no on coraline algae. It all just looks like the typical algae you get from the new tank "uglies"

Thanks. For the cyno I will vacuum it up and increase flow. Any other suggestions. It seems very localized.

Just keep up with regular water changes. Increase flow. Vacuum the sand and give it time your system will balance out. What kind of lights are you using and how long are you running them? Also do you have a clean up crew? Something that stirs up your sand bed would help
