All I have in the tank is clean up crew about 10 snails and 10 hermits. I have the following that I want to make sure are not bad things, First picture is Feather Duster, I think and the second I am not sure hoping not red bubble algae. Thanks for the help

Correct on the first one.
Second one looks like a form of macro algae.

You might try the algae forum for a specific ID.

Macro=good algae
Micro=bad algae
 
Ok so both are good guys. That is good to hear. TBH I have heard that now with 3 post on three different sites so I feel confident now lol. Would you move the algae to your sump I have a refugium but haven't found anything at my LFS to put in there.
 
If you are wanting to grow it out in the refugium then sure, put some down there. If you keep tangs and angels they will decimate it in the DT.

Post that pic in the Macro algae forum for a specific ID (Latin name) and research it. Some algae is better than others for nutrient export in a refugium.
 
Looks like red bubble algae to me.
