Q: green stuff?

[murgus]

Warning, warning, incoming newb question

I have some "green stuff" appearing on my rock - is it some kind of algae?  If it is algae, what can I get to take care of it?

I haven't been able to get a good pic of it.

Thanks,
Andrew

My guess would be cyanobacteria? Does it look like  a film?

I wouldn't describe it as a film no.  Although I wouldn't rule out that it might become like one, it seems to be in the its early stages.

Thanks,
Andrew

Here's a picture. 

Can anyone identify:

• the blue-green stuff in the upper right by the astrea
• the red stuff in the middle
• the green stuff in the middle

Thanks,
Andrew

All looks liek various kinds of coralline algae to me.

That would be cool - there is a lot of this kind of stuff showing up in the tank lately!
