Second pic i a very confident when I say Byropsis, also possibly the same thing in first pic, 3rd looks like turf algae or something. also this is probably just the uglies as your tank looks very new

Anything I should do or just let it ride? My tank is just barely over a month old.

I would give it some time also the byropsis at the base of the rock, I would manually remove that as that can be more problematic. Some time later, assuming that it hasn’t gone away (I would give it 3 months and manual removal until then) then after a long time, you can use flucozanole. Just manual removal until then

Nothing eats bryopsis but I would get an urchin, Mexican Turbo snails and emerald crabs for the gha. Remember, you’ll need to manually keep it short for them to eat it. In my tank my tuxedo urchin does the best job. Good luck and remember it’s just part of reefing.

Remove the rocks and use peroxide to kill algae, there’s tons of threads in this forum on how to do it
