Looks like some die offs from the previous tank. If I were you i'd use a scraper and remove it. Then give a tank a good wash. I personally would like the tank to look as new and clean as possible before I start on this amazing hobby. Would not reccomend leaving the existing algae on it. The corraline would most probably also die off by the time you fill the tank.

Happy Reefing.
