In regards to your 1st pic:

This is an excerpt (and picture) from www.Melevsreef.com/id/ :

(I hope I gave credit to Melev Correctly.)

"Neomeris annulata" (a type of macro algae)

"Usually you'll see at most 5 branches of this calcium-based macro algae, and it tends to only live a short duration. Ryan has so much of it growing in his reef that he's giving it away. He even posted a picture of a snail on the glass with Neomeris sp. hanging off the shell like an octopus. Amazing. Reef-safe"

as far as the 2nd pic, I have several of those in my tank as well, but have not been able to get a good pic of them. So, if anyone has a postivie ID, that'd be great!

The second pic appears to be duster worms, they are just like feater dusters with the exeption that they only get as big as they are in your pic. The largest I have ever seen was as big around as a pencil eraser. As your tank matures you will see moreof them and they will be all sorts of different colors.

the second maybe hydroids..

Actually the little green things in the very bottom picture are call "Sun Polyps". They love to be fed and enjoy being near a bright spot in your tank. They are not harmful...definatly reef safe. In fact it's one of Dakars favorite soft coral. It can get to be an inch or 2 tall as long as you baby them,and spread sortt of like a zoanthid, but quicker. Now don't kill those this sweet coral. You'll really enjoy their growh and feeding them..

I really love the macro you have gotten your hands. I've never seen it for sale anywhere, but would love some of it for my seahorse tank! Quite beautiful!!!

I hope this info helps you! .....Angel :angell1:

the bottom picture is without a doubt Neomeris annulata. i have about 50 of them in my prop tank, they will not hurt anything.

your neon green is calcium based and they do not live long. as for the hydroids nothing imparticular they just pull from the water columm. that is a good sign of the tank. you on your way my friend.
