Red/Pink slime at the bottom of my water catcher

Fairly new grower here. I put together my own soil mix consisting of compost, blood meal, bone meal, azomite, worm castings, neem seed, bat guano, and rice hulls. I potted it 30 days ago and have been watering it once a week to keep it damp while it cooks. I may have put a little too much water because when I lifted the pot recently there was a decent pool of water right under the pot & I noticed this red/pink mold or residue.

Has anybody seen this before & is this something I can just clean up or should I get rid of the whole pot?

@Just Be I was wondering if it was some runoff from some of the amendments I added, but I also wasn't sure if it was "Serratia marcescens".
I don't know enough to say if it is or isn't. Hopefully someone will chime in and give you an answer before long. Good luck!
