you're probably not, bud.

name them please.
The top pic isn’t very good. There seem to be two or three there.

The lower Long one i seen more detail as well.
There are sadly a couple red turf algaes out there and yes they are noxious.
You may want to run a heavier carbon or purigen to help the corals.

What's this one? most of the Algaes are 80% this kind.
Am not sure if this is Caulerpa Sp (Grape); can you confirm? I will be running Fluconazole in couple days time to take care of the GHA but I don't believe it'll kill this thing.
Don't even know what is that swamp thing near the box that looks bubbling chemical like.
