Does this look like the start of coralline algae?

I see light pink in spots and that definitely could be the start of coraline. To help it along you can hit those spots with a toothbrush, and take another pic of the same spot next week. Then you can know for sure!

Some purple on the rock across from the snail in the first picture that could be coraline.

You say "finally", how long has the tank been running?
I think it’s been about 8 months. I had a really rough start cause i didn’t get enough CUC in the beginning so I had a real bad algae bloom. I think I’m finally starting to gain control of it. You live and you learn
