Ahhh I'm not worried its all a part of nature.... To have the perfect tank would be exhausting. I change my water with RO each week. Fish are happy and I have a little water garden.

That algae species is hard to get rid of and will eventually take over it took over my fuge killed all my chaeto it will kill your coral if it gets a chance and it also goes assexual if that happens itll crash your tank just my opinion and experience with it

Get rid of the hermits. My green sea lettuce and dragons breath is growing unbelievable now that I'm changing water each week with RO it's amazing. And now I have a green plant with root like legs coming off. It's flourishing also. This is quite a sight!!
