yes me again... iv notice some white stuff on a piece of my rock is it calsum?

 

[SkiFletch]

Might be stressed or dying coraline algae? Is the tank new and/or cycling?

 

[mattrock]

a few months(4-5)old its hard the white stuff with some red around the outside uknow the red colour u get on the rock anyway

Yup, sounds like stressed/dying coraline algae. Likely you have a chemistry imbalance (high phosphate, low alkalinity, low calcium, low magnesium, high salinity, low salinity, or some combination thereof).
