Hello all, I am new (8 months) to the saltwater/reef aquarium life. I had for years had freshwater aquariums but wanted a change. All was going well with everything until I added a bully (not sure which fish it was) to the aquarium. Now all has settled back down. Currently, my setup is 55 Gallon (which I want to replace at some point with a 125 that someone will give me for free). I have 4 residents.. a clown, a hawkfish, a blue hippo tang and sailfin tang. I also have 4 corals some doing OK and some just slow. My pulsing xenia seems to be wilting but I moved it closer to the light and seems happier. I do have a question though. there are growths around the Xenia that I do not know what they are. I have attached a picture so hopefully someone can help me identify. Also, I have a green star polyp that seemed to wither away, but there are still some pieces still surviving... can this come back?

please advise

GSP is really hard to kill even when you try....it will come back if you detect why it shrunk.
It helps to have all your parameters as they are currently, and if there has been any swings recently.
Usually something is way out of whack with GSP shrinks.
Do you have any of these?
