New to Saltwater and currently in late cycle phase my readings this morning were less than 0.25 Ammonia, less than 0.25 Nitrite when I say less than on my test colors they were not quite 0 but not quite 0.25 and 0-5 Nitrate..Can someone help identify this growth? My main concern is should I move this rock to receive more light? This was live rock from an established tank at my LFS that was all in a trough. I turned the lights off and all the little tree like parts retreated, turned lights back on and they popped back out.
My second ID question is in next photo......I am assuming these are a star of some sorts as they hide in light and come out in dark. I’ve seen 3 and they all look the same. Does this look to be a species I need to rid the tank of or leave alone? This rock was given to me by a friend and they have a Harlequin Shrimp which they feed Choc Chip Star to so maybe those?
