So I never turn my light on at night but today I decide to. And I see all these white things on like half of my coral. They seem to be opening up just fine despite them being there hints why I never noticed them. There are a lot of these things what do I do

Also there is this brown thing on the back of my duncan it had a bubble on top I took it out to look at it and it just flattened.

The white things are pineapple sponge good guys. The bubble appeared to be bubble algae “Very bad guy” when popped if spores get into tank will spread.
 
So these wont smother the corals one is between a 2-3 head polyp. And I may have accidentally popped it while pulling the frag out to look closer. Should I dip it? It's the only what I assume is dino bubble I have seen.
 
If it is bubble algae and it has not been popped the best thing to do is remove that frag and without popping the bubble take a pair of bone cutters and cut that piece off and throw it away.
