algae question

[thefreeviper]

so i posted this in the wrong section and posting it in the right spot now lol. but i have this algae on a piece of live rock i got from my LFS. yes im a noob so not sure on things. the purple stuff is hard and takes a little force from my finger nail to take off, and the brown stuff i aint touched yet i dont like it. it looks brown kinda almost like a goo look. the purple i know is either cyanobacteria or coralline. and just wanna make sure im right with this one and not let the wrong thing grow. ty for any help. and i got the best pics of it i could find.

The purple looks like coralline to me, which is nothing to worry about. The brownish green stuff looks like hair algae to me, you're going to want to get rid of that

next time please ask a mod to move your thread instead of creating a new one. It just keeps the forum less cluttered. Thanks!
