Ok I purchased a tank off of craigslist. (I had to take 2 clown fish that were in the tank and had to promise to try and keep them alive)
So I setup the tank last Wednesday night so its been up and running for about 9 days. I purchased the tank from an older women. I dont think she new she had a few issues with it. 1st there were a ton of anipista or whatever those tiny anenome things are called. Also a snail has some hairline algae on it. Those are issues I plan on addressing later on.
First off in this pic the Live rock was a dark purple now its turning into a light green. Is this the natural cycle of coraline algae.

If you look at the black Clownfish front fin. Go straight down from there, Theres something growing on the coralline algae. Is this a pest should I remove it

The snail in the tank has some hair algae growing on it. Should I be consearned.
