    Is this a common thing? Should I worry about it spreading to the display?

    if it's just in your fuge..and assuming your fuge isn't huge..i'd just go ahead and get it out..usually comes up pretty easy

    Kill the lights in your fuge for 3 days, it should stop the growth of the cyano. It can get into your DT if any spores go into your return pump. It happened to me. I killed it in my fuge, but now am battling it in my DT.
