Not sure how that 2nd pic got in there. Please ignore that one.
 
bubble algae up front and what looks like bryopsis on the back Unless thats a feather duster (hard to tell)

emerald crabs help with bubble algae, but bryopsis is a different story. many times hard to eradicate! there are a couple treatments that may or may not work. first is fluconisole and the second is raising Mg in the 1500 to 1800 range. i would say get more pics of that fern like stuff in the back and post them to be sure before you venture into treatments.
 
I’ve been dosing Vibrant for the bubble algae. After 1.5 months I’m only seeing a small improvement.

I’m trying to ID the fern looking algae in the back.

I’ll try to get another pic later
 
Wonderful. One more thing to battle. It never ends.
