If it's truly a blue head fairy wrasse, they are a colorful species in adult form. Yours could be female. I find it hard to imagine a 4" one still...
pineapple sponges come in yellow?
Just part of (presumably) new tank syndrome. Nothing to worry about really.
It's algae. The "tail" is algae growing in scratches in the glass/acrylic.
I test calc and alk weekly to twice a week, magnesium once every two weeks. I no longer check for ammonia nitrates or nitrites as its only useful...
There's a lot to address here, I'll start with the nitrate issue. This is just my opinion, and others may say otherwise. You know that your acropora...
Judging by how your other corals have been and your recent problems, (calcium and alk) I'm gonna go ahead and say it's unhealthy because of that.
Depending on the camera and if you use any software with the photos, I would try adjusting the white balance. Unless you run your lights very purple...
I love efflos. Top 3 acros.
I think I have the same problem with my brain shrinking, but I don't have any brain coral ;)
Where to start... Unless you have fish that require multiple feedings a day, I would advise against feeding 3 times a day, at least while the algae...
I would do a wrasse or dwarf angel then call it a day.
I was always under the impression that you shouldn't dose nopox while running any gfo or media that reduces phosphates.
I see it a lot on chaeto. I actually just pulled some off of this red blade like algae the other day. It just grows right on it.

Get some wrasses.
The people at reef builders use a weekly dose of amino acid supplements (acro power) daily, and have reported no ill results other than increase...
Funny, I read about these in a book as a child (some of you may argue i still am a child) and thought they were the coolest thing. I would love to...
To the average viewer who has no idea, they probably think it's pretty as it "dances in the flow," but frankly, any respectable reef hobbyist would...
Liveaquaria/divers den has pairs occasionally that accept frozen, if you really want one I recommend one of those. Still a difficult fish, does...
