Foraminiferans?

Hello everyone!

 

I am new here.. I am also new to SWA. I have just added a pair of clowns to my tank after cycling and noticed my lie rock has red specks/spuds growing on it.. I don't remember the specks there before. Can anyone help me ID them? I'm kinda thinking it's Foraminiferans? They kind of resemble a spud growing from a potato, but only red...? Not sure.

nitrate 10

nitrite 0.1

P.h 8.0

Alk 1.7-2.8 within norm

 

Do I need to do any other tests?

Thanks!
