Is this Coraline?

Just wondering if this is the start of coraline growth? My CUC went in the tank last week and the snails have it all over their shells.

Possible. But, hard to see. Too dark. For some reason mines has always started on the overflow and the powerheads. Keep checking those areas.

If it is purple and does not come off easily when touched it is coralline. If it does come off easily it is Cyano but that does look like coralline.
