Jerry’s 75 gallon reef tank

Update 11/11/19

I now have this algae everywhere. It started as yellow then changed to a green color. It also has little spots where there is some purple or reddish coloration. I’m hopingthis is normal and adding a CUC will help at this point. I don’t think it’s coraline algae because I haven’t added anything except fish but I could be wrong. Oh also I’m done treating the fish for the last 3 days and they seem great I’ll keep an eye on them for a few more days but I think we are good. I also added a fire shrimp but he hasn’t come out of hiding for 2 days starting to worry he might die of starvation but I can see him and he is moving, just hiding.

Are the purple spots coraline or are they going to become some other algae?

So my algae is getting bad. It’s everywhere. I added 15 trochus snails and 5 blue hermits. I’m a little worried as 5 trochus did not make the shipment acclimation process. And the hermits went to town on them. Should I worry that my other snails will get eaten?

Clowns seem to be getting along as well the larger one started doing the clownfish dance for the smaller. They get along up until feeding time. Then the bigger one bullies the smaller. After feeding they are buddies again. Was trying to attach a video of the twitching by the bigger clown but I can’t figure out how to upload a video on here.

So new update its been a bit. I’ve bought some blastomussa corals, a toadstool leather, and a ricordea. I’m worried about the amount of flow for the leather.
