algae
Are you sure its not Lobophora Variegata ..looks what i was battling a few years ago.Found some info on RC, they suggested a certain kind of tang,or sally lightfoot crabs.I went with the sallys,and within months,was totally gone.I know some don't trust any crabs.My fish are big,or a good size,still have a few sallys after the years.Zero problems,all they do is clean rock 24/7 here's an RC link

Anything that eats coralline algae - urchins will usually do the job. My rock had it here and there but the urchins will eventually mow it over.

I've had that in the past, urchins will eat it as a byproduct of the coralline they seem to prefer. What worked for me, ultimately, was lowering nutrients. At the time i was using the Fauna Marin Ultralith system. It disappeared in about 6 months. After quitting the system small patches have reappeared but seem to be limited to those two patches. It has been several years and a tank upgrade since I had it. Try increasing your water change frequency and feeding less (ie. lowering/exporting nutrients) and it should slowly start to recede.
