Ok, first off you still have red slime (cyanobacteria) in the background, so do not stop chemiclean.
what specific types of snails did you get? same w/ hermits
I would start manually removing as much as possible. Blue leg hermit crabs are good for hair algae.
what are your nitrates and phosphates, and filtration methods?

I have zebra snails red leg hermit crabs blue leg hermit crabs and I don't have a test kit to test my water but I did put phosphate out into my filter I have a 110 AquaClear

And i have a remora s protein skimmer

You should go out and buy a test kit, red sea or salifert are what I would use for NO3 readings and a Hanna checker for phosphate. Test kits are important for reef tanks, you’ll need to monitor calcium, magnesium, alkalinity and other things in order to have coral that grows well.
First thing you should do is attack the problem of algae, which is going to be elevated NO3 and PO4. Water changes, a good skimmer and feeding less are good ways to do so. A properly sized cleanup crew will also help, but typically they won’t eat huge chunks. If you trim it down by hand they can help control it well though.

Thanks i have a bubble tip Anatomy is that why it ain't popping open so good cuz it was huge when I got it and now it's small

Could be that. Your BTA looks very bleached too, which is never a good sign. It should not be white, usually they are orange or red.

Whats bta

Okay. Some good points above.
There is still some Cyano in the top picture. One more dose of chemiclean should clear it up
The Green Hair Algae (GHA) was more than likely caused by the death of the Cyano. When it died it elevated nutrients, resulting in algae. I would get more crabs and maybe a Turbo Snail or 2. It will work itself out in time.
As for the Anemone. Your tank looks WAY to young for an Anemone. Atop of that. It looks like you have a Condylactis Anemone. Not a BTA. It doesn’t look in good shape though.
A few questions.
How big is the tank?
How old is the tank?
What fish are in the tank?
What kind of lights are on the tank?

What kind of water are you using? if not RODI then switch to it immediately!

Keep a close eye on that peppermint shrimp, once he's done he will start chomping away at other corals and feather duster.

 

[George Willings]

Thought it was the Camel shrimp that would bite at the corals and not the peppermint shrimp??

 

[Idoc]

Also, i don't believe bumble bee snails eat algae...i think they only eat meat and some detritus.

 

[George Willings]

Corrsct, bumble bee snails are csrnivorus.
