The unknown thing is a duncan coral, one of my favorites!

pretty!

looks amazing!

A few more photos.

They dont add to the bioload, you can add as many inverts at once as you want :)

I usually wait until you see some algae start to grow, then you know they are something to eat. I would get more snails than that, and make sure you get a variety. Each will target a different type of algae and surface.

Cute!

Looks good! Off to a fantastic start!

sadly no :( they dont seem to hatch out in our tanks.

looks nice

Hello and Welcome! I would avoid the crushed coral all together, it only will cause you major issues especially if you want to keep a reef tank. I would get a few high powered koralia powerheads for the tank, or if you have the cash, some vortects. Also are those hang on pumps...

Regrading the algae that is growing, just upping the flow is often enough to make it go away. But do keep up on your water changes and pull it out when you do. The pH you have is fine, and I wouldnt try and mess with it. Stability is key. Also if you have fish in your tank and have cycled...
