The mushroom looking things are an algae, but I can't remember the name...rrrg.

The last brown one is Padina...get rid of it. It will spread like a plague. Be sure you don't let any little broken bits of it float around either as every little broken bit will grow a new one wherever it lands.

Where did you get your live rock from? It has a lot of different algae growths on it, and looks like it's going to be a pain in the butt in the future. I think it is a great candidate for a dark bin to cure aka "cooking". If you want more info, ask. Or (preferably) do a search.

Hmmm..

I was only trying to get identification on two creatures and you have refered to 3? We have the "stick" and the second one is the lighter inverted "top".

It has taken a while for the alage to settle down. Still waiting to get my efugium up and running for some nutrient export. Then I may go through another period of low light levels. That seemed to be the best treatment so far.
