Welcome to the forum, will be following, as I am interested in being able to ID Algae too.

In the first pic I see green hair algae in front and possibly some bubble algae or maybe cyano in the shaded section in the back. 2nd pic I can't tell what you want us to look at, maybe some sponges? Better pic would help. 3rd pic looks like cyano and maybe some hair algae, again a better pic would help.

Thanks for the welcome!

Actually in the first picture I was talking about the algae that looks like seashell, they look like shell but they are not. In the second picture I was trying to get them from a different point of the tank without success. In the third picture there are some hairy tubes, they look like mini feather duster, but they are multiplying.

I know about the green algae, the tank is still very young and I am waiting some CUC to keep them under control. The bubble are due to the micro bubble that the skimmer is throwing into the display tank.

(Sorry for the English, it is not my first language)

Thanks again!
