Crappy to hear about the busted tank! That sucks, just be thankful it wasn't a bigger tank!

Sorry to say that is not coralline, it is cyanobacteria. Coralline doesn't grow that fast, plus the bubbles in it are a telltale sign. The dead shrimp you started with was rather large for the size of the tank, so there is likely to be an abundance on nutrients in the water now. A couple fairly large waterchanges (25-50%) should help fix that for you.

Are you on SaskReef? If so, what's your name over there? I haven't noticed a build thread over there.
