Probably so, it looks like it in the second pic which shows the rock. Coraline typically starts out as a green color and changes to purple. You can see this happening on that rock.

I concur, looks to be coralline to me.

Ok good thanks guys when you get this type of algae does this mean the tank is running stable. It's only been up for about 5 mons or so

It's usually a good sign to see yes. I sometimes look at the coraline in my tank as an indicator of overall health of the tank.
