Well, these things have been growing for a while, and seem to grow really fast... what are they? They look like those nasty chips called bugles though

WTH are they?

Hey, how cool! Looks to me like a brown algae called "scroll algae."

 

Here are some pics of some spp of 2 genera of scroll algae. The first sp looks pretty close to me.

Oh, and the green guy is a Neomeris, a calcareous alga. Also nice to have:
