With new tanks, yes, you may see different stages of algae blooms.
Here are some great reads for just starting saltwater tank:

bits of hair algae but the rocks is all cover by brown.
thanks.
The brown on the rock is most likely diatoms, normal for new tank.
I don't think there is a guaranteed order for different blooms you'll have on a new tank, as there are lots of variables that factor in on what you get and when and how long they last.
