I have some pinkish looking stuff growing on a rock in the back of the tank. Sorry about the picture quality.

Does it come off the rock fairly easy? Is so, it's probably cyanobacteria. (bad)

The pics are too blue to see anything.

I'm gonna guess sponge. Have you touched it? If its soft and attached to the rock its prob sponge. If it is cyanobacteria you could just blow it off with a turkey baster as it will just be sitting on the rock not attached

Cyanobacteria/red slime.

Edit: There is a "sticky" at the top of this forum.

It was kind of soft to the touch and would not blow off with the turkey baster.
