New Coralline Algae Question

[DonJuanAntwon]

I’ve noticed coralline algae starting to form on glass and drag plugs after adding purple & pink helix a few weeks ago (see photo of frag plugs). My question is are these spots on the rock work (very light purple) also coralline algae starting to grow or something else? I’m just wondering because they are quite a lighter shade. Thanks!

I'm not sure what the subject is in the first two photos (could you circle it/them?), but the third and fourth photos feature Nerite snail eggs.

Here’s the coralline algae circled on the frag rock. I was thinking the circles on the rocks were some type of snail egg but it threw me off that they had a purple hue to it. What are the odds these eggs make it and give me more CUC? Thanks!

Picture 1 is pink coralline algae. Picture 2 is a little blurry but appears to be glue that, like the eggs, is (not sure what the correct term is here) bouncing the blue reef lights at the camera. Picture 2 also depicts what might be a different, harmless red encrusting algae, like Peyssonnelia or Hildenbrandia.
I hear Nerite snails have a planktonic larval stage that would make them vulnerable to reef filtration systems, but I have never owned these snails, so I cannot confirm.

Awesome, thanks for the help!
