help is my tank sick

I moved this past week and had my lfs store move my reef for me to be on the safe side { big mistake } its been back up and running for 2 days now and levels are right where they should be but this morning when I got up I noticed that growth on the glass and power heads { the purple stuff} has lost its color and has turned white and powdery looking , should I be worried or is there anything i should do or not do/ please advise. Thanx Dave E

Even if the coralline dies off it will grow back over it in a short while.
