nice blue mushroom
aiptasia, brown polyps, sargassum and some maybe bad red macro?

It looks like some sort of coral in that picture as well. But definitely some aiptasia and algae. I'd remove the algae and kill the aiptasia.

Help with the bad stuff?
aiptasia bottm left side of the pic looks like a flower with arms https://www.livingreefs.com/members/m...ew-20rock2.jpg
Joes juice, aiptasiax, kalk paste etc the rest Id leave a bit longer for identifying better closer pics

Your paramaters seem to be doing good right now. Do you have any CUC such as snails/crabs? If not, get some so you can get some algae taken out of your tank.

I have 20 hermits and 12 or so snails.

Oh, okay, good! Seeing that your tank is cycled as it seems, I think it might be time to add a fish!

Looking into thé best fish options now. Does the live rock structure look ok?

I think it looks great! My only concern is the rock on the top right of your FTS picture. Is it secured in that spot? Looks kinda loose to me as if there's nothing on bottom supporting it. I can see a gap from it and the rock below it where you can see right through to the back wall of the tank.

I think your rockwork looks great, as long as nothing is wobbly!

Its not glued but it seems solid.

New rock set up. I had to change things around when the new galaxy frag fell through the rocks all the way to the bottom. This looks more unstable than the last one but it is actually a lot better. I also had to move the rock the mushrooms because the new galaxy was smacking him with the long sweepers.
Any other thoughts?

New critter. Did not realize how long the sweepers can get.

Yeah, those galaxea tentacles can reach 6 or 8 inches. Keep it away from other corals -- it has a potent sting.
