So I’m assuming the first two picture are of a sponge IMO I think please let me know. But the 3rd pick almost looks like an egg it’s the translucent round thing on the rock. Please help me identify Thankyou!

The green bubble thing is green bubble algea. You need to remove the rock and remove it without popping it if you can. If it pops in the tank it will spread. If you pop it outside of the tank, you can scrub the rock and rinse it off to remove any spores and algea pieces.

The first 2 pictures are stomatella snail.

Pretty bad, it's not something you really want in the tank.

Yeah I’m sorry I tagged you in this post because I posted it twice because no one was answering the first post and I still didn’t know what that egg thing was so I figured you might know. Thankyou!

If you have a foxface, emeral crab, a very greedy tang, it may eat them. If not, it's like every other unwanted algae. Grows where ever it wants and become unsightly. Also, those bubbles can get HUGE. I think I have seen them the size of golf balls.

Will they kill anything In my tank?

They will compete for space, they can cause corals to recede. And take up real estate where corals want to grow. So depends on what kind of corals you keep,.

Edit: It is actually a non toxic algae as well. They usually spread around the tank when a bubble is broken in the water column. They are full of bubble algae spores that take root and grow.
