1st pic in tink it's some starfish... brittle star??

2nd pic is algae.... got any tangs in your tank? they can eat the algae... :)

Thanks bro. Is brittle star harmful? Should I leave it alone or remove it? I have like 3 of them located in different LR.

As for the algae, I have no tang, turbo snails seems to consume them (not sure though). Sally light foot can't reach them... But if it's not propagating too fast till it become a nuisance then I will clean it with magnetic cleaner every now and then.. but if it's nuisance then I am in trouble liao..

It is easy for you to confirm what it is.

Just wait till lights out at night and use a torch to see carefully. Brittlestar only comes out at night.
