I am in the breakin fase once more with used live rock from a fellow reefer. My green hairy algae is on the return but I have found some I need ID

Algae 1: Black spots on the bottom (Running BB) - looks like the fungia You get in a bathroom when it is to mist

Algae 2: Looks like a red leave from a flower

Algae 3: Looks like a small flower - not a tubeworm even though it looks like that on the picture - has no tube and dos not retract.

Could you help me?

the black dots are cyanobacteria

the red leaves are pretty small making them hard to identify. could be several things from red bush, smooth kelp, to young halymenia.

number three, could just be small tube works or vermatid (sp) snails

heres a link to a great macro id website
