I'm not sure what you're asking about but all I see is what looks like cyanobacteria and green algae... or a rock

 

[TangoTank]

The purple stuff?? Coralline, an algae that makes the rocks look pretty. It's actually something a lot of people encourage to grow.

Oh wait, I take that back now that I look closer... Coralline grows out in like irregular wavy-lined circles.

It you wnlarge it it is not coraline or cyano... It looks like little red plants or leaves

It's Coraline algae.That the way it looks starting out.You will see color changes as it grows.

I don't think it's either, if in fact there are leaves. Hard to see, but you might try looking though this article
Browse Groups in Algae (Red)
And seeing if you can find a match.
