It is cyano bacteria, technically not an algae but is referred to as red slim algae. You can get some red slime remover from a LFS and it will help. However you need to get your parameters in line, most notably phosphates and nitrates.

Agreed, red slime remover will work but it’s a bandaid on the problem which is nutrients
 
Also agree, cyano. Second photo shows plenty of green hair algae, you need to get your nitrate and phosphates in order.
This also appears to be a hermit crab. There are mixed opinions in regards to them in reef tanks however i keep a couple with no issues.
