Color on live rock

So this new tank I have came with live rock that appeared to be covered in green algae. The previous owner said there was a lot of algae. So I did what everyone in the other forums said to do and that was to keep the lights off. Since I was still waiting for help in handing the behemoth of a light fixture it went about a month without any artificial light and just days light and a few rays from the morning sun. I got the light up and the green algae that seemed to coat the rocks now turned a reddish brown. I don't think this is coraline I see a few dark red patches that appear to be coraline growing. Any thoughts on the type of algae it might be? Thanks
