I noticed some small thingies here. can anyone ID? Green Centers

Look like aiptasia. Ugh! You want to get that rock out and maybe try to scrape off the aiptasia and then poor h2o2 on it and then set fire to it! Next, poor glue all over it to seal every crack, dip in muriatic acid, and then maybe think about drying it out for a year, bleaching and then put it back into the tank.
heehee

I am exaggerating, obviously. But, you do not want them to multiply in such a small tank. At what you have now, get a true peppermint shrimp to eat them up. Or, pull rock and scrub off and douse with h2o2 without hitting coral.

KP Aquatics is where I get my peppermint shrimp and they have always gobbled up my aiptasia. Fast.

Sometimes they are kind of pretty.

Could be palys, but not the good kind. I had some that took over and also sent me to hospital twice. Not fun.

CRABBY!!!! HI!! Hows it going? Hows the tank?!?!?

Its now several days since the water change on 7/10/2021. Noticing a lot of algae bloom, diatom, cyano, green hair algae. Corals look great. Been struggling to find a peppermint shrimp without having to go to new jersey. Have to head over to POTO today and see if they got one. Tank needs a good clean up crew.

Ill need some advice, i used to just buy a lot and throw it in the 65 and it did well, but in a 10g i feel like space is a problem.

Heres my cart:

25 Astrea Turbo Snail
25 Dwarf Cerith Snail
5 Nerite Snail
10 Dwarf Blue Leg Hermit Crab (? maybe)

Is there anything i should add, remove, consider instead of?

 

[DeniseAndy]

Careful with those crabs. I never have luck with them not killing my snails. Only hermits I trust are scarlets. JME

Mexican turbo will destroy any algae you have. Only thing that eats red turf if you experience that ever. I can speak from experience in 2 different tanks. They're beasts.

Tank is a mess. Just trying to keep fish healthy and anemones alive. I have a bigger tank but haven’t had time for six months to finish it. My tank is way overstocked
