I have some form of algae growing on a few rocks, was hoping to find out what they are.....First picture seems like red slime algae from what ive seen online, 2nd picture im not too sure of, it doesn't look slimy or anything. I have a few emerald crabs, but they don't seem to be touching any of the red algae. What should I do? Attachments:

looks like normal new tank cycling just keep up on tank maintenance and it should go away on its own.
how long are you running your lights?

Had my Lights on for about 12 hours when I first set it up, then I noticed hair algae so I cut the down to 10.....what would you recommend?

with my lights blues come on at 3pm whites on at 4pm whites off at 9pm and blues off at 10:30pm
so 7 1/2 hrs total with 5 hrs of full light.
corals only use light for like 4 hrs and most of that light is used around hr 3

Good to know, I have my actinic bulb come one an hour before and stay on an hour after the daylight, I will adjust my timers today

I would siphon it out if you can, just to keep on top of it, cause it can over take your tank.
