Params are all almost 0 other than phosphate which is .25. I feed my single clownfish roughly 5 pellets a day, and my cuc is 2 hermits and 2 astria snails.
Is this coralline and how to get rid of this other stuff

@saltyfilmfolks Will surely be able to help you with this. My opinion though, it very well could be coralline. How long has the tank been running? I am having a hard time telling what the other stuff is though. The stringy stuff on the middle rock appear to possibly be hair algae, and the "fuzz" in your first picture looks like it might just be a bacterial film. As far as how to get rid of it, if the tank is new just give it time. New tanks go through many different algae stages that just take time to go away.
It's not very new, coming on 9 months. In all honesty I didn't do anything with it until about 4 months, it's doing very well but it seems there's just these few things. I'm wondering if it Is coralline because I recently introduced a few frags that had it on them but I'm not sure if it would be able to spread within a month. If it's not coralline I'd like to figure out what it is to make sure it's not going to harm my corals. Also the film just seems to be growing so I think it's a type of hair algae but it just won't go away and it spreads like wild fire
Hi. If it's hard and stuck on the rock yea probably corraline.
But I would really suggest some more and diverse snails in there. A couple small Mexican turbos probably among them. not sir how big the tank is.

Yup I've had a few small tanks.
You'll still want snails.
