My LR has some purple algae on it or is just the normal color. I have noticed lately it has been more brownish orange. Is this normal???

LR can have many different colors of coralline algae, purples and pinks by far being the most common. This orange-ish brown color may be due to several things.
When did you set up your tank - how old ?
How long have you had the rock in the tank ?
Do measure your pH, alkalinity, calcium and phosphates ?
If so - what are these levels ??
Will help us to try and answer your question :)
