First see if you can get us a picture with the blue channel turned off or way down..
proper color rendition is important for identification pictures and all that blue/purple is distorting the colors.. That will help determine if its dinos or cyanobacteria,etc...

Either way its likely that its just going to take some time to address.. likely siphoning out as much as you can during normal water change schedule and maybe another couple rounds of blackouts or maybe chemiclean treatment,etc..

And here is the kicker.. That type of issue can happen in any tank regardless of where you got the rocks from.. So thats why scrapping is not the best direction and you just need to learn to take care of these issues vs quitting...
Its a problem that happens even if you purchase the best rock out there and its also not likely to just going to go away in one easy step..

Sometimes this hobby throws you a tough pitch and you need to adapt/have patience and work to solve it..
