A few id's including some yellow eggs?

[lilfish717]

I have a few id's I need help with.

I'm assuming the white things on most of my coral are pineapple sponges?

I have this algae that is starting to grow on some rock and some frag plugs, at least I'm assuming it's algae, it feels really flakes and rough.

Another are these eggs I found on my lobo. They look very cool. These bright yellow zig zags. For info I have super small hermits, a clown, and a few before snails. Hoping these aren't pest eggs. I've been having a outbreak of those tube worms that shoot stuff out and live on corals.

And last but not least, no pictures for this one. They're these long. But super small. They are barely visible, you can only see them when they move. They were on a dead pocillopora skeleton and a zoa plug. They look a little like a thousand legged even though I can barely see them. They move fast are long and have a black strip running down the middle of their bodies and are a tannish(?spelling?) color. I found 2 so far.

Thanks in advance.

The white stuff are sponges, and the green flaky algae looks like maybe bubble algae, IMO. Can’t tell about the otherb one though.

Algae looks like Ulva, the other stuff?
My wife is after me to do something else, gl

Sponge and Ulva algae.

Last two pics, looks like you have a flatworm, to the right of your thumb in both pics, little reddish circle.

can you do pics in water in a white container? things will show up really well

the thousand leg thing you are talking about sounds like a bristleworm

That red circle is just the whole side of the skeleton covered in Coraline. If that's what you're talking about. The eggs are the little yellow patch up near the head.

I can, but if you want the pictures for the worm thing I wouldn't eb able to get any pictures that's how small it is unless you have any advice. All I have Is my phone for pictures.

Are they harmful at all?

the sponges are not harmful. they are filter feeders and will clean the water for you. the algae you definitely want to remove unless you want to end up with a tank full of algae

the worms you are describing sound like something I am dealing with. Have you tried to touch them with something? Maybe someone can help us both the worm looking things that I have, also very tiny, tan with stripe around body circumference. The problems they cause are they burrow into anything, they make tubes not like ver. snail but anywhere I have found them through the body of my zoa's, mushrooms but they are on, in everything. I have tried everything to kill them, dips freshwater, coral rx, bayer, freshwater with coral rx and it kills some but what they do when threatened is encase themselves with something they release and it hardens and the dips dont penetrate even at double doses and longer dips, so I tried to break off the tubs and pull the sob out and that is how I learned about how they encrust themselves. I have lost alot of corals including my bounce collection any help would be much appreciated. lilfish 717 does this sound like the same thing that you have the pic's look like the same. I will try and post pic's and video not sure I know how lol.
