Algae Identification

What type of algae is this? I have pink and purple coralline that appears to smoothly coat the rock. This appears to plate the rock and has white, fine-sand-size white specks. Is this coralline too? Thanks!

I believe it is coralline algae. If so, the white spots are patches of dead coralline.
