Welcome to R2R and your new reefing family.
Hydroids, careful manual removal with a toothbrush or your fingernail. Reduce feeding or discontinue any broadcast feeding. Discontinue use of any particulate foods.I have algae that is bothering my hammer coral. Can anyone ID and suggest how to get rid of it?

Welcome to R2R! I was going to suggest a tweezers, but the above suggestion of a toothbrush sounds great. Good luck and welcome to our family!
