Sargassum muticum

Currently I have some Dictyota sprouting up around the tank, even suffocating one of the powerheads lol. The pictures don't do it justice, it's almost glows light blue at the edges. In the first couple months of my tank running I had some blue scroll algae. Unfortunately, right as it started doing really well, I let my nitrates get too low after dosing microbacter7 too often and it withered away. I've been looking for more ever since.

Some Sargassum natans (?) I kept for a couple weeks - it doesn't look too hot. When it's a little fresher, and in real life, it looks very bright gold and very pretty in the light (especially in the ocean with the sun coming through and turquoise water all around). I tried to keep Turbinara turbinata, but it dies pretty much immediately. The purple things are gorgonians, in case it's not obvious...

This one is a hitchhiker on a coralline frag. Not sure what it is. Its sort of brownish

This is growing off the side of a mermaids fan, reddish brown. Again, I don't know what it is.

That looks like some kind of Dictoya sp.

Maybe red algae.
