It's not quite green enough after looking at various pics only the very tipS glow green
 
It's green star polyps, the reason it's not long and flowy and bright green is because it hasn't grown out enough. Give it time and they will get longer and brighter.
 
my gsp has a bit of spreading and the new sprouts are barely green, just pale pink and than a hint of green
 
And this we have as well

We also have a few more things growing now the two pic are of the same sort of brown cluster which doesn't seem to bother the corals and the purple things growing out of one rock

The dog doo swirl looking this are vermatid snails. They don't move, and shoot out a slime and reel it back in to feed. I have them in my tank too.
 
I thought vermiatd snails looked like a snail with only a partial shell and the red tubes that had strings coming out of them were spoind worms
 
You're thinking stomatella snail, or however it's spelled. Google the pics of vermatid snails, you'll see they are the same.
 
Are the vermatid snails good or bad for coral?

Cause look like I got some around one of my coral...
 
My green star polyps was doing really good, not anymore since I spot those snails on it....

How can I get those snail out of my tank, or ther is something that eat them and also reef safe?
