Pods are good. The growth looks like a red bubble algae to me. I had some. Kinda cool to be honest. Basically went away as my tank matured and never caused a problem.

I'm not sure what you are worried about in the first pics. Looks like some sponges. Nice pods to follow. Looks nice and healthy. How did you start the tank up out of curiosity? Seems like you have made nice steps.
