Hiya, just almost over a diatom bloom, then some green spots appeared on my live rock. Was ok with this as didn’t look like it was bad. These rocks were bright white and now.. I’m not even sure if the colour.
do you think it’s going in a good direction?? What could be causing the change in colour?

If the rocks were bright white I'd guess you started with dry rock and sand not long ago...that's how tanks progress...not a whole lot you can do about it. It'll go away after a little while. Just let it do its thing...

Also natural not sure the exact name of that but I have it on my rocks currently cycling as well. I think eventually it will be overtaken by coralline and other algae types

Looks pretty normal. It is a green algae, pretty standard for new setups. I wouldn't worry, over time you will see many different types of algae that come and go in your tank.
