Icon6 Coaralline on my snail?

Hello!! I got this snail about two weeks ago but didnt notice anything different about him. Well I starting using calcium two days ago and today I look at him, and it seems hes covered in coralline? Is that even possible? I havent been running the lights much. I use purple up maybe twice before I got him, but thats it! My calcium is now at 410 ppm. Should I grab him out and scrape his shell in the tank to seed my rocks,(wich have no corraline) To get it to start growing?

Its purple-ish Pink and blotchy, thats coralline right?

Leave the coraline on him and let him climb the rocks he will spread it for you.
