moroon is probably cyno bacteria. this can be treated with chemicals, though i wouold not recomend it. You got it from overfeeding, and leaving your lights on too long
green is probably algae coming from the same problems
cut back on the amount of extra food you put in your tank. and how long are you leaving your lights on a day?

sorry for not responding, yes my tank is new, maybe 2 months.
i have only one clown right now, and i notice a lot of food going down to the bottom, so overfeeding is probably it
my lights are on from about 7 in morning to about 10 at night or so.
schadiest1, thanks for the info!

I would cut that lighting a lot. 9am to 7pm is plenty.
