Far as I know, it's red coralline algea....
Coralline comes in several different colors. Primarily shades of Purple, but also pink, red, and green....... I think it's VERY pretty! |

Cool alligator head
 .and yes, that one looks like coralline algae, however it seems to me that it is too soon to start growing in just one month, are you already dosing calcium ? where did you get the live rock from ? In any case expect more red from the remaining rocks, beautiful.

Looks like coralline to me but just to be sure, what happens if you blow on it hard with a turkey baster? It is coralline it will not blow off.
