I think I have the same issue, and I blame the clownfish for being hungry. The green on the rocks looks like either hair algae or coralline algae starting to move in. Both normally start to cover the rockscapes in new dryrock set ups and the greening is likely to get thicker with time. Do you have any CUC to help keep it in check?
