the bacteria growing on the rocks are a blend of bacteria that are present in sea water, fish, and frags/rocks/sand from other tanks. very likely the bottled bacteria used to start your cycle is what is populating your rock work and sand. and no, it will not go away(unless you dry the rocks and bleach them).
What????
 
i’d dose phyto(live), and copepods. i’d also buy some nerite, and astrea snails. make sure to flip them back up if the fall off rocks/glass. dosing bottled bacteria can help, too.
I recommend Trochus snails, Stometella snails, Turbo snails you still gotta clean your glass!
