What is this algae/ stuff?

1. I have no clue what this is (Brown dots), ik there are diatoms in my tank. My tank is 2 months old with bacteria. Instant cycle.

2. Guessing this is Green Coraline? (Light green specks) and will green Coraline turn purple?

4. Maybe Dino's? Looks darker and thicker than the diatoms I have covering my tank. (Dark brown)

i had all of those algaes appear right at the start of a new tank with dry rock. i wouldn't worry. they will run their course. i've found the spot algaes to be less like coralline ime.
