The purple looks like coraline algae. The green like mowed down Maiden's hair.

The green looks like hair algae. It is hard to remove from rocks but, a lawnmower blenny will eat it up.
You might want to check it out closely I use a magnifying glass to compare the green to turf or Bryopsis. ReefCleaners.org | Clean Up Crews and Macro Algae - Nuisance Algae ID Guide
To me it doesn't really look like hair algae because of the color and how it is growing on the rock.

Yep it looks like Green turf algae. anyone know what kind of algaecide we should use?? Or would it be safe to just let the rock dry out?
