Okay so I've got my LR in the tank... finally! I don't really see any "life" other than some tiny worm looking things that seem to have burrowed into the sand. Can anyone tell me what the stuff growing on the rock is? Is it all algae or what? I'll attach a pic.
Does the stuff on my LR have names?

The green "grass" stuff looks like hair algae to me...as far as the pink thing is, it's hard to tell. It will take time for coralline to take over your rock. My tank is 5 months old, and my overflow box and back glass is about 1/4 covered.

The fuzzy looking stuff shaped like a Y is some sort of algae I believe as I have a few of them in a 2 year old reef tank.
