Should I be worried?

I have what I think is cyano? It's not overtaking, not growing noticeably. Tank is three months old, so could just be some new tank uglies. What do you guys think?

Seems very minor at this point. :)

Almost looks like a form or red algae when zoomed in.

Is that normal for a New tank, and does it require any sort of treatment? Or will it eventually go away on its own

Im not sure if that is cyano, but if that brown stuff on your rock is lobophora, than may be you should be worried.

From the picture there is no cyanobacteria
That algae may or may not go away.
Depending on what fish you predict you will have will determine if you want internal growth of algaes like this.
Would I leave it? Yes

Okay, any good threads off hand about algae and maintaining it? Also Macdaddy mentioned lobophora? Any opinion on that?
