Help! Patches of green and brownish stuff :S

[aquaman66]

Hello and thanks for reading!

Can anyone please tell me what are these Greenish & Brownish stuff growing in my Dead Coral Rock and Substrate?

Are these normal? Or do I have some massive problems now?

Please help, what should I do? :S

Pics at the bottom. Thanks.

Thanks!!

I don't know what the green is, but the brown looks like diatoms starting to form. It's a form of algae that will clear up over time with crabs and snails.

hello Ken thanks for the info.

will crabs/snails/sea star will do well with "3 Damselfishes" in a 35 gallon aquarium? This is my first time to setup a saltwater aquarium and wanted to be sure the inverts wont be eaten by the fishes hehe.

The inverts wont be eaten by the fish. I have 2 clowns in my tank with 4 snails and 10 crabs. The clownfish are considered Damsel's but they don't touch my crabs and snails. The crabs and snails will eat the brown algae and sift your sand.
