Hello, can anyone help with identifying these? Thank you!

Welcome! Glad you joined. You likely already thought of this, but sometimes going back to where you got something may help with name (and sometimes it doesn't help lol).

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Can anyone help ID these? They are polyps appearing here and there around the tank. Not sure if they are offshoots from the clove polyp or something else. Thanks

Asked LFS today and they say it is probably sponges that should be removed. I've since noticed two more growing on the GSP.

Those are pineapple sponges. They grow because there are silicates in the water. In a new tank there will be silicates and they will eventually go away, meaning new sponges will stop growing at some point. However, even though these are not bad for the tank, they will grow on everything until then. I would recommend removing them.

Very helpful. Thank you.
