If you can siphon most of it off, then it is cyanobacteria... there are some maroon coralline algae strains. They can't be siphoned off the rock and are just fine to have in the tank.

If its cyanobacteria does it need to be removed?

Try to siphon as much as you can off when you do water changes.
Do you have anything in the tank other than live rock?
