Fairly new tank. I just bought my first corals and I used a coral dip before putting them in my tank. It removed most hitchhikers (I think) but there a few large ones that I can see and I am wondering if anyone can identify them and let me know if I should keep them or remove them. One of them looks like a potato bug.

Also, any ideas on the green algae that I have? I turned off aquarium light for a week and it stayed. It doesn’t come off (even by scrubbing). I am thinking it’s coralline?


Please let me know if I am leaving any important information.

First looks like a small Turbo sp. snail, the second like a Chiton sp. Both good CUC.

Definitely what it is, thanks.

Anybody have ideas about the green stuff on my rock and substrate? I feel like there is very little green hair algae growing on the green substrate only
