I restarted this aquarium from scratch two months ago because of a problem with green or brown algae.

There are now some creatures with tentacles attached to the glass. They don’t move or react when I touch them. I’m sharing some photos—could you help me identify them, please?

Tank: 110 L
Fish: 1 small cardinalfish
Corals: 1 Favia and a small zoa colony

I could be wrong but it looks like a hair algae that has found a way to settle on the glass.
 
Just ugly phase algae. Nothing to be worried about for now 🙂
