This one is like a white furry immobile tube thing with whisker like stuff at the end. Touching it doesn't make anything (the body or the whisker). And the zoas are not bothered by it too (its close now since I poked it to close for the picture).

This one is some kind of algae or something. Some frags got tall plant like thing growing.

About pic 2, couldn't really focus on it since it was in greenish background. Already pulled it out too. It was a tall (about an inch) balloon like grassy thing. Not hair algae and too tall to be a bubble algae. If that helps :)

Thanks. It looks like that but is dark green instead of deep green in google images. Anything to worry about?

I have the odd one here and there but I've never seen it take off like wild. Out on the interwebs no one seems to worry about it much. Although it is tough to be certain that is what you have from looking at the photo...

I wouldn't consider neomeris "bubble-ish"...

But actually, they are not THAT bubble-ish too :S And doesn't look as juicy either.

I am confused :cry:

Could be a form of either Valoniopsis or Cladophoropsis

I have the same as you - individual whiskers without branching or runners

Similar color and clarity as chaeto

Your tank isn't big enough for the fish I had/have, but my foxface ate it and I hope my kole will too
