1. beginning of standard coraline algae growth

2-4 These are various types of dyeoff. I assume you are now or just finished with your cycling and that the rock had a lot of various sponges and plant matter when you first got it.

 

For #1 just leave it be

For#s 2-4 take a turkey baster and blast all that stuff or peel it off if before your next water change. Otherwise just leave it till the end of the cycle. :)

I see bacterial films, and a potential aquatic fungus, no worries, just keep testing ammonia and other nitrogenous wastes.

And as Pinner said coralline algae
