Got a few questions on what I have

[bunner]

Hi there. I am new to the salt water fish end of things. All ways had fresh water fish and then I just got a salt water tank last September. I really can't find any answers on what I have in my tank. The salt water community in northern BC isn't that big if at all. So I am looking for some help and answers. Here are some pics of what I have





Also I have this dark red stuff that is growing on everything. But it disappears at night and comes back in light. I was told it was coral algae but I don't know. Like I said I am new to this game and I want to know what I have. Plus I just got 4 fish. And will the anonamie host the clown fish?

It looks like you may have cyano algae. What size is your tank and tell us about your filtration setup.
And Welcome.
