Need some help, the ugly stage is here

I need some help with Id on algae, and what cuc members to add. Here's pics

Diatoms:

What is this?

Bubble algae

What is that (on top of the left side of dipsastraea)

Same stuff as the dipsastraea but the goni seems pretty bothered by it

What is this

I'll try to get better pics but I think these are bryozoans

those are dinos in that tank

But are they "new tank dinos" that will go away with a little patience...?

How many fish do you have?

TBH: Most of those don’t look all that bad, and don’t seem at the level you’d need to add algaecides - also, note that your CUC need something to eat… no algae and they’ll promptly starve and die.

I’d suggest getting a diverse clean up crew, including hermits and maybe an emerald crab, and a conch. These will add a little character, bring in a more comprehensive microbiome, and keep most algae in check. I’ve had good experience with Reefcleaners.org, but there are a few folks who have similar product lines.

I suggest you carefully inspect snail shells for things like vermitid snails.
