Red cyano?, white patches

[Bigboned]

So another noob question, going thru uglies, the rock appeared to be getting color ( greens browns etc) air bubbles started appearing on the uppermost algae surfaces, what appears to be a patch of red cyano growing over some bubbles and now these round white patches- I thought bacterial blooms at first but upon closer inspection appear to be patches were the algae has disappeared - is this just part of stabilizing or is something eating the algae? I have 2 small clowns, a cleaner shrimp and a small serpent star-need to get me some more CUC

What you call algae might be diatom and will pass pretty quickly. It is normal for the first 6 months for your tank to go from white new rock to brown to red to green ect....

Thanks for replies - i understand there will be lots of colour change etc - it was more about the white patches - how they appear to be just die back or something eating- i was more intrigued than anything
