Anyhow, they were nice pieces, but now I noticed they are turning a bit darker brownish.. and a bit of dark green (kind of looks like hair algea) is growing on top of one...? Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

My understanding is that is all part of cycling. One bit of advice I was given, was when you are adding live rock that is not cured, it is best to cycle it in a container and not add it to your tank if you have cycled your tank.
