The purple on the rocks is also coraline. You will want to keep the front and side glass clean... it'll eventually take over so much that you won't be able to see anything inside your tank if you don't scrape the front and sides off
 . Most people let the back grow naturally.

that is also coralline
 I personally don't like coralline on my glass.. others let it grow like crazy on the back.. its entirely up to you. nice pic btw!! just keep an eye on the kenya/neptheya!!! they can grow like weeds and take over a tank pretty quickly!! they are easy to take a razor to though and cut back.. your lfs might even buy the frags from you Happy Reefing!!
