Is this Green Coraline?

This green has been spreading like crazy the last 2 weeks. Its only covering the rocks its not furry or anything just a thin layer covering the rocks.

Can you wipe it or blow it off the rock?

It could be green cyano but it also could be green coraline. If it doesn't come off the rock it's not cyano.

I had that same color on my pukani rock when towards the end of my cycle, it unfortunately quickly went away and was taken over by hair algae.

I believe it is a form of coralline so for you I hope it stay, I wasn't so lucky

Normal for a new tank. It will pass in time.
