Toadstool leather hitchhiker and care

[reef.geek]

Hi everyone

I just got my first coral into my tank
And i noticed that i have a hitchhiker attached to the rock it came with from my LFS
Can anyone identify what it is and should i remove it?

I also have a question about any recommendations for adding bottles of magnesium and calcium because i tested it and its quite low. What would be recommended to buy?

And any recommendations for care tips and when should i be concerned?

I make my own 2 part from bulk reef supply and its excellent. Alk, Calc & Mag. unfortunately I can't help with the hitchhiker as the picture isn't good enough for me sorry.

Would you recommend reef complete by seachem? I just added the coral an hour ago does it look fine?

If your tank is mainly softies and some LPS, dosing is not really required. You'd be fine with periodic water changes.
