I had one and lost it in my last tank, I wasn't ready for large polyp stony corals. But anyways stay alert but optimistic. Some of my corals have contracted and closed for days only to work on forming another head or growing bigger.
I had a sea clone " horrible skimmer" "do not buy it!" I am getting a new one to run in my sump, and after seeing them in action at the local LFS and research. The reef octos are the way I'm going. Amazing skimmers that come in all sizes!
My sump is a 65 gal with the same footprint of my 2 40 gallons so it was easy to tell it could handle the overflow if the tanks form a Siphon, if the power goes out or something.
I have a fire shrimp but have not seen him go for this algae specifically "not that I have any now" they will go after plant matter, I've fed mine dehydrated sea weed. As of how to get rid of the long hair, your water peramiters may or may not even support it. Check your nitrites and nitrates.
Tank looks good, most substrates will get compacted no matter what you do. Have any sand sifters? They may do the trick. Let us know what you get at the store :)
White spots are dead or dieing algae, idk if that is in part how it spreads and starts new spots but it seems that way. I have a pearly and I know how you feel about the blue dotted Jawfish.
