i just started my tank a couple months ago and its all over my rocks. should i run my phosban?

Does it come off the rocks fairly easy? If not, I think it's just a prelude to that nice pink & purple coralline algae that tends to show up in our tanks over time. I wouldn't worry about it.

I tried to scratch it off and it didn't work lol

No, that's the start to coralline algae. In my tank, light green turned purple, and dark green turned red...
