These are growing out of my live rock. Not sure what they are nor what family they are. Can someone shed some light on it for me?

I have a programmable 36" 234W 6x39 fluorescent Actinic T5 HO. Six bulb 3 HO white, 3 actinic blue, 6 moonlight LEDs. It is programmed to keep moonlight from 7pm to 7am, 7am-1000 it is twilight, 1000-5pm high setting with all 6 lights on, then 5pm-7pm it is twilight again.

Awesome! I wanted to go coral eventually, but thought I would need my tank set up for about 6 months or so before I bought any.. Guess I need to figure out how to take care of them now.. LOL

This may be a silly question, but what does LPS stand for?

My tank has only been up about two months. Didn't think they would grow on their own... Cool now I gotta figure out how to take care of them.

So can anyone tell me what these are? They have started growing out of my live Rock. One is a purple bulb of some kind, while the other is Snow White and has little fingers sticking off the rim at the tip all the way around.

for lights I have T5, six bulbs, three blue three white. with six leds for night time. I have it programmed for twilight to come on at 0730 till 1000, from 1000-1700 I have the midday lighting on, the 1700-1900 twilight again then moonlight LEDs from 1900-0730. is that good or bad? 36" 234w...

I appreciate your help.... I did not want to add anything to the tank till I was sure. I have added a six stripe wrasse and arrow crab to start cleaning up some of the brittle worms and vemited snails I have on my live rock. it is just nice to see something I bought in the tank. it has been...

So I have my tank cycled, was about to add some cleaners and all of a sudden I have a brown algae growing everywhere and growing fast. My live rock is now brown. Brown spots are forming in the glass. It was like over night and wham. Is this good or bad and if bad how do I stop it? Tank has...

Ok, can someone tell me what this is?

this looks more like them though

second one looks like them

also have some REALLY small, looks like little bitty shrimp.... they good too? I am thinking about getting a wrasse, to control all these little critters I am seeing.....

My cycle test gave the following results Ph 8.4 Ammonia 1.0 Nitrite .5 Nitrate 40 ppm now I have no idea what all that means other than I am surprised the snails are still alive. I very much appreciate all of the advice you all have given me.
