Is this turf algae? And what’s this cluster?

[piscesgirl]

Thanks in advance, I’m searching and I think this is red turf but am not 100%. Only because it’s growing a little something different on the other side of the tank (some red flat thing). And can’t tell the difference between vermetid snaps and little tiny feather dusters. But this one is in a clump, so I’m hoping for some help.

Snails, not snaps lol

white light might help with distinguishing between the algae

looks like you might have some red cyano. blue life cyano Rx worked for me

Looks like cyano. If it blows off with a turkey baster its cyano.

Never mind. Those are feather dusters.

looks like cyano in the first picture
sponge in the second or cyano that is thicker and I'm not sure about the tube or worm looking stuff

No, but in the first pics, the feather dusters looked somewhat like sea hare eggs

I actually tried that on cleaning day last week and it’s stuck on and fuzzy. The crabs pick at it but don’t get too far in getting rid of it.

Ok, I purchased this tank from someone who had a ton of stuff in it. So things are growing that I’m not ready for trying to learn as fast as I can but whew

What if it’s stuck like glue?

Is sponge invasive? I’ve got so much of it everywhere and I like it, I just don’t want to have a sponge tank lol
