Nope. Coralline would be pink or light purple in color.

Typically coralline colors are mostly pink or some other shade of red, but may also be purple, yellow, blue or gray-green.

Can you take a pic?

The only way that coralling algae turns white, is if it is bleaching/dying or if it has a small white spot-then it is how it grows!
