    Don't know about the first one but the second looks like a feather duster or maybe even a coco worm. Most likely feather duster.

    Nope. First is a sponge, second is a feather duster :)

    Yes, they threaten to make your tank look cool and act as a natural filter. ;D

    Just kidding, they're great to have.

    No sorry guys and gals first one is a macro algae, either Scinaia complanata or Solieria robusta
    Got lots of it in my 16, only this one has lost most of its color. Here is a photo of mine.
    Oh yea, it poses no threat, it is very easy to control and slow growing.

    I didnt notice the sponge until I put in a halide light and now there getting big and I see there growing on top of my maxi flow pump.

    My rocks dont have any color to them. It has some pail green color to it but still no coralline algae.
