Part of the cycle process, in order
Diatoms
Cyano
Green Hair algae
Film algae
Coralline algae
The intensity of each bloom depends on water quality (available nutrients) lighting, whether you used dry rock or live rock. You may miss cyano or green hair algae depending on the specifics of your tank.
That looks like either Diatoms, which will pass once the silicate levels drop. Could be Cyanobacteria as well, but most likely Diatoms.

Yes that looks like some Diatoms to me as well. Good sign of the cycle process.
