I have the same thing going, but I was under the impression that it was red slime and a flow issue.

If it was cyano the sandbed would probably be covered too. On other surfaces you would be able to wipe it off with a finger.
If it's hard and crusty then it's coraline (which has many shades).

If it's cyanobacter, it's bad. is caused by excess nutrients and phosphates. Cynao comes off easily.. get rid of it by vacuuming it out during water changes and cutting down on nutrients and phosphates.
If it's hard and crusty and won't vacuum off or blow off, it's coralline algae. Yea!

I don't want to take my tank apart...all it takes is a tiny spot...red seems to overtake everything. I can tell you how mine got all over...
I have a #1 korlia power head pointed at my cave to make sure it had flow...my goldenheaded sand sifting goby had a habbit of getting sand and swimming with it...he dropped sand onto the power head which sand blasted a rock that had red coraline on it. Next thing I know... have red coraline on everything.

a year ago I paid an outrageous price for a small piece of LR at a LFS just b/c it had blue coralline algae. wanted to seed my tank with blue. The blue disappeared.
Also had some orange, but it too disappeared. Now I got pink. Pink, pink and more pink, Starting to get some dark red thought.
Sure wish the blue had taken off though. That would've been so cool.
