Cool stuff! The only thing you really don't want is the anemones. :)

Not sure on that type of algae.

I think both the anemones and the algae are bad for your tank, sorry amigo.

I would say the nems are probably not wanted, but the halimidea (spelling) is not. It does consume calcium and can be difficult to keep alive but should not be a problem. People often grow it in their display. The only thing I see that might be considered a nuisance is the nems.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
