Look like regular bubbles. I am guessing the tank is still new. My tank did the same thing and will go away with time. Check and make sure the plumbing is connected securely to your return pump. If it's not then it is pulling in air and shooting bubbles into the tank and they collect on the bottoms of the rocks.

Green hair algae. Bubbles are very common .Manually remove/siphon out, check NO3 and PO4 are in range, lessen feeding, shorten light intervals, add CUC if you don’t have and a tang or 2 depending on tank size and lawnmower blenny. Be patient. Will take time to eradicate.
