I don't know the names but I recognize the middle pic. I had that one as a hitch hicker and it spread like wild fire. The thing about it is, it grows on anything it comes into contact with. It literally took over the entire tank. I had to manually pluck them and they grow right back. My emerald crabs took care of them.

Hey snake,

I think those are:
Chaetomorpha
Dictyota
???

Did you collect these yourself? Please keep us how the third one grows, it is very interesting.

it was not really me, a friend of mine collected them in Cancun Mexico, but all of them died soon after introduced into the tank.
