Liverock hitchhiker ID?

[CoachS]

Have a few hitchhikers, some of which I’m (oddly?) excited about, feather dusters, bristle worms, possible spaghetti worms?
But have a few more than I’m needing some ID on!

Clear translucent tubes, Neon orange spots on multiple areas of rock, and the green plant looking algae?


Also can’t get a good picture but have a fuzzy white area on the inside of a hole In the rock, any ideas there? Thanks!

The tubes, orange spots, and white fuzz are probably all sponges (most likely harmless filter feeders). The algae is a bit too blurry for me, but someone else may be able to ID it for you (if not, clearer pics would help).

If any of the sponges turn out to be invasive (the clear tubes are the only ones I’d think potentially could be at this point), they’d probably still be harmless (some invasive sponges literally grow over the top/through corals without hurting them at all), but you’d probably still want to trim it back to keep it from taking up all the real estate in the tank.

Thanks! The green algae is at the back of a rock, I’ll try to get a better photo tomorrow during feed time!

It looks like for the green plant there are 2 green looking plants/alga? The darker one in the front reminds me of Halimeda. For the back one it's out of focus, so I can't tell.

Just looked it up and that’s what the green out of focus algae looks like, thanks!
