Advice for changing sand on established tank with sand sifter

[brandon429]

Do a practice rock this morning with those on the rock

Set the rock on the counter, use the knife tip to scrape and remove algae working around the parts you don't want to kill

Rinse off the scraped areas in saltwater

Put peroxide on the scraped areas, then rinse off

Set the rock back in the tank all cleaned up. See how that doesn't hurt attachments because you never scraped them off?

Any opinions on what type of algae this is growing on my rocks and sand bed?

Study those 7 rip cleans too

they scraped around the nontargets and removed the attached algae like a dentist removes plaque, without harming the gums if possible.

Little tiny anemone guys? Look something like this? If so could be aiptasia and should be removed immediately as they can spread quickly and sting your corals. Infestations are very hard to control.
