Yes, it's algae. You'll get many kinds as you cycle and for the first year or so after. Welcome to the hobby!
It should be "puffier" for lack of a better word, but it doesn't look terrible, just not fully acclimated to its new environment yet. If you google...
Crushed coral isn't going to be any better, and will likely be worse as it holds more detritus. You need to get a clean up crew, maybe a fighting...
Hydroid jellyfish. I've had them before. I had to get mine ID'd by Ron Shimek to find out what it was back then because no one knew what they...
Maybe Priapulida, but the head doesn't look right. Almost looks like a humongous digitate hydroid LOL.
Previously I had a 3 gallon reef, a 10 gallon FOWLR (with one damsel), and a 38 gallon reef. Currently we have a 55 gallon reef [IMG] And a 140...

If you add a goby & shrimp, keep in mind they're going to reaquascape your full bottom. We have 4 fish in our 55 & it's mostly civil in there, but...
Base & live rock is usually coral skeletons. I've found it to be much lighter and more porous than some of the other rock. All of my rock is very...
Well, that's a good way to acclimate a locally bought fish, so I'm pretty stumped. Having been in there for 2 days already, not sure what the issue...
The 7 minutes I was referring to was your first 2 posts were only 7 minutes apart. Today at 6:52 PM and 7:00 PM. 20 ppm nitrate shouldn't be...
Looks like some kind of hydroids to me, too. There's an unbelievably huge variety of them and a huge variety of shapes and formations. google image...
Thanks for that, Don, I was just trying to ID species the other day!
Do you make sure he gets food? Usually the goby helps with that.
