1) hair algae
2)doesnt look like it, hard to tell, could be a hitchhiker zoo. 3)looks to be more hair algae 4)im not sure how you would go about removing it on a snail, all i know is that hes going to spread that quickly. good luck

1. Hair Algae
2. looks like a button polyp to me. dont know what the leafy stuff is. 3.more Hair algae 4. the only way i can think of for removing the algae from the snail is to take him out of the tank and scrub it off with soft brush. may want to use a dish with some SW in it for rinsing.

its a weed. i wont hurt anything but it may cover something that you want to grow. and it grows really fast. and will take over your tank. according to my Algae A Problem Solver Guide, by Julian Sprung, "this algae blooms under good quality water conditions, and it seems to have a positive effect on water quality, though it may shade or smother corals."
i would vote to take it our if you want corals. mannual removal is the only way known.
