I'm curious about all of the corals in this picture, but in particular the red leafy looking thing in the center. There's quite a bit throughout the tank. Can anyone help? I feel kind of silly when people ask me what it is and I don't know.

In this one, I'm wondering what the small snail-like creatures are? They started popping up a few weeks ago and now they're all over. Any idea how they may have come to be? I have hermit crabs and a few turbo snails, but didn't add these.

Thanks in advance,

The red stuff is actually a red macro algae, nothing bad actually some people will pay for pieces of it. and the snails are stomatellas I believe, good for your system and probably just a nice hitch hiker on your live rock.
 
2 orange hue things on the right at ricordia yuma mushrooms, green with brown stalks are just button polyp palythoas (palys)
 
Just noticed in the middle of your second pic to the right of the small stomatella theres what looks like aptaisa a pest anemone that can really get out of hand. You may want to take care of that one quick do a search on here for different methods of eliminating. Also do a pic search so you can verify I can't make it out real well on the pic.
 
Thanks for all of the information!

You're correct about the aiptasia. Actually, I have quite a bit of it. Hoping to get some Nudibranchs soon to get rid of it, I've tried virtually everything else.

Thanks again,
Kevin
