I don't think its coraline, because I can brush it off with some firm sweeps of my toothbrush.
I've got emerald crabs, turbos, cerinths, and nassarius snails.
What else could/should eat this?

Get some astrea and trochus snails.....

coralline comes off pretty easily. alot of base rock will start off bright green and turn dark green/grey over time
