I hope these pictures are helpful. In the first one you can see some growths coming from the middle of the shot. And towards the top you can see little spots that look like they are the beginnings of these larger ones. My pool installer is saying this is normal for the surface since it is new...

Thanks I will try to get a good picture in the morning when the sun is out... It is hard to see without the light just right...
