3rd pic is coralline for sure (good thing BTW). The green could be coralline as well but it could also be just basic green hair algae starting. Tank looks fairly new so that would be somewhat normal. If the green is soft and stringy it GHA. Watch your nutrients (don't overfeed and keep on top of your skimmer [if you have one] and water changes).
 
looks like nice natural algae!
