That’s the stage before normal purple coraline, not sure what exactly it is, but your tank is on the right track !

Well i have purple stuff growing on the rocks.. very little but its spreading. I have like 3 or 4 types of it as well.. i have a bright pink version.. then a darker pink one. And one that looks burgendy purple colored... as well as this green version.

It must be another form of coraline.. green.brown version though lol.

It's green coraline algae. I get purple in areas of high lighting, and green, pink, maroon, and peach colored coraline in shaded or lower light areas.

So is this green coraline on my rock then ?

It could be green coraline or just great film algae. It's not uncommon to have both growing in your tank at the same time.
