What is this growing on my live rock?

There ya go. I posted the picture for you, and welcome to N-R.

 

I certainly hope you didn't throw the whole rock away on account of what was posted above. While it is a nuisance algae, it's nothing to be alarmed about, especially if you are cycling your tank.

 

There are several ways to deal with it. The one I'm going to recommend is the easiest way to deal with it, but the hardest to stick to (since you are new to the hobby.) Simply turn off your lights. Without light, algae can't grow. I cycle all my tanks without light for exactly this reason.

Thanks for the welcome and posting the picture for me. I didnt throw the live rock away, I was going to try and brush or scrub it off but if leaving the lights of will kill it than that sounds much easier. Thanks
