two things im unsure of

got a new piece of live rock today...have two things on it im not sure what they are...

first is a couple of dark amber looking bubbles



the second is a snail i think he gets around



I await your responses lol

First one Bubble Algae
Second one maybe a Stomatella snail.

Hard to tell.

+1 on that

ok so it does appear to be a buble algae "Botryocladia skottsbergii has been dubbed by some as 'Red Valonia'" i think...now question is, this type of algae can take over from what I read and so is it enough of a threat to try to remove it now or not worry about it from any of your experiences.??

Sometimes you can roll it off with your fingers. If it feels like its going to pop, let it go for a while, you don't want to pop it in your tank. Not a major threat right now

bubble algae and the 2nd pics is actually a Limpet not a stomo they are cool lil algae eaters and 100% safe

Sharkies got the 2nd the pic Good eyes there young un.

Yep, bubble algae and a limpet. Just remove the bubble algae by hand -- grab it by the tendrils and gently pull it off. You don't want it in your tank.
