New LR

Reefing newb
New additions to the tank today. Mostly consisting of LR and its many wonders.

Three corals that I could use some help IDing came with it. The mushroom looking ones, the button ones, and the one at the top making its home on the coral skeleton.

If you spot any aiptasia in the pictures, don't worry about it. I know it's there. :P Picked up two peppermint shrimp at the same time as all the aiptasia is rather small and here's hoping they help to control it while we nix it. The shrimp are incredibly interesting with tons of personality. And tons of eggs! Make for nice fish food later on.

Also the rock had quite a bit of what appears to be bubble algae on it. Other than manual removal with tweezers, any suggestions?

The rock was just too beautiful to pass up because of aiptasia and bubble algae.

The button ones are a type of palythoa and I think the 3rd one might be kenya? For the bubble algae you might want to get a couple of emerald crabs to eat that before it becomes a plague.
 
Looks like your garden variety button polyps, some green mushrooms, and a kenya tree. Can't really see what's going on in pic #2.
