Critter bloom!!

[Scousereefer]

Right, il admit I have let my tank get a little wild lately as I have been working so much and not had time to clean glass etc but have been feeding and changing water but I have cleaned the glass today and the tank has exploded with new critters/pest/corals!

Can you guys help me I.D some of these and give me any advice on what will eat the aiptasia.

I can see green hair algae in the 1st image
not sure what that massive thing is in the 2nd image
bubble algae and aiptasia in 3rd image .
try peppermint shrimps for your aiptasia problem , emerald crabs for bubble algae if you wanna go the natural route or vibrant the chemical route .

The first image is not hair algae it is more like an SPS it's solid and doesn't move in the current

Maybe not but it is surrounded by hair algae. The center piece in that photo almost looks like dead birds nest or something with Coraline growing on it.

The first picture could be codium fragile, or dead mans fingers. Not too uncommon. Some folks grow it on purpose. It doesn't grow too fast, but gets tightly wedged in the rock, making it hard to remove completely.

They should live together just fine
Also since you also have Vermited snails you can try some bumble bee snails for your issue
