Sorry to be a pain but two more questions?

First question - would you say the new lighter purple patches on the rock is the start of new corraline growth
Second - the bottom right shows a sort of dull green leafy sprout and the second pic shows some more. What is it?Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1389559326.503839.jpg Views: 100 Size: 257.4 KB ID: 216391

Sorry if I've broken some sort of rule by putting on two posts in a row and loads of questions I just love the wealth of knowledge on this forum and hopefully one day I will be on the other side of if!
