    Looks like coraline algea to me. Hard to tell from the pic. If it is red turf algea, get some Turbo fluctuosa (turbo grazers) in there asap. The red turf algea can spread quick and smother corals.
    Examples of coraline algea colors (click on the pic to enlarge) http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=876 As you can see it can come in a rainbow of colors and textures.
