Default Good?? Pink & Green Algae

Hey Everyone, Hope All Is Going Well With Your Tanks And Lives But I Had A Quick Question...i Am Noticing Some Little Pink And Green Spots On The Side Of My Sand Bed(inbetween The Bottom Glass And Sand). Not A Lot, Very Little. My Tank Is About A Month And A Half Old. That Is Good Algae Right? At First I Was Worried Thinking It Was Red Slime But Now That I Have Looked At It I Am Positive It Is Pink...please Let Me Know If That Is Normal And Ok....thank You Guys For All Your Help...all You Vets And Even The Newbies With All Your Help Have Been A Great Asset To My New Found Hobby.

Pink is good - probably coralline algae starting to grow. If it's hard - coralline. If it's soft, slimy - cyano.
