Hey guys! I’m a new reefer and I believe what I’m experiencing is Diatom algae which I’ve read that just letting it play its course is what I should do. I do have some green algae starting to grow and hopefully that will cancel out the Diatom (if that’s possible). I’m just looking for reassurance and some hope that maybe this will all go away real soon. I have a 38 gallon tank with 5 Astraea snails, a cleaner shrimp as you can see, 4 blue leg hermits, and 2 clowns. I have a few coral frags but I don’t believe that should affect anything. Thanks guys!

you said it all, you got it
I’d bet those astrea snails end up on a hermits back eventually. they can’t right themselves. Get a few turbos and name them. ?They can live long and get big if fed
