Help ID Algae Growth in New Tank

Can someone help me ID this "algae"? It is on some of the rocks and bit of the sandbed. Looks like diatoms to me, but im a total newbie at this. Also what should I do about them? Wait and see if they go away on their own? Add a CUC? Limit lighting or add water movement? Tank has had water and sandbed for 3 weeks and the live rock was put in a little over a week ago. Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate are all 0. My LFS tested the phosphate level for me and its 0.1ppm (test kits of phosphate, calcium, alkalinity, and mag are on my immediate shopping list).
