Morning everyone

I’ve had this 75g tank setup for three weeks now, half of the rocks were moved from my estabilished 20 g and also I used a bit of sand to seed it and left for a little bit of the filters of the old tank into the new tank’s sump.
Some of the new rocks i had purchased were dry and some other were live( the one on the pic was one if the live), I am now wondering if that on top of the rock is coralline algae from my 20g rocks or cyano.
So just that I can get ready for an outbreak and contain it as much as possible.

Looks like normal aging of rock to me not coralline or algae.
The rock was grey as the color in the bottom right but that purplish color wasn’t there till i noticed yesterday night, also I did feed phyto for the first time yesterday in the morning, dk if that would make a difference
 
its not coraline, coraline doesn't grow that fast, maybe the beginning of some algae or cyano. The rocks will change colors as the tank matures.
