"This type of algae outbreak typically occurs when a tank is just completing or has finished the nitrogen cycling process, new live rock is introduced, as the curing process can add nutrients when some organisms on the rock dies off, or tank maintenance has been neglected. It is a normal occurrence, as diatoms are one of the first to appear in the chain when the tank conditions are conducive for algae growth, and is usually a precursor to other forms of desirable and undesirable nuisance type green macroalgae."

You did not had the big green algae right?I had,it was a big jungle as you could see in my aquarium thread,it's a normal procedure...

 

I think your algae grow is just starting,there is nothing you can do about it,it's all part of starting up a salt water aquarium with live rock.This is also why i did not add the substrate for the bottom,allot of dirt from the stones lands on it and the algae grows on it wildly.Here is how mine looked:

These are pseudocorynactis aka ball anemones.

They are a relative of mushrooms/Callimorphs.

They usually don't get any bigger than a dime. I have had one for over a year.

 

I would chill with the aipX and Joes. I tried joes and it messed my water up. I would put two pepps in there and have them compete for the aip. I tried the pepps and they took care of it in about 3 days.

 

About the brown and yellow algae.....it's part of a cycle just relax and let it be. Also try to limit your light to no more than 10 hrs a day going forward. Congrats on the RSM and take it slowly.

 

If you want an anemone be ready to have your hands in the tank quite a bit until he finds a resting place for a few months then starts over. During his treks he will sting all your corals and try to get into your powerheads. That was my experience at least.

"Montipora capricornis are known for their spiraling vase shape and are usually uniform in color. A specimen which is brown in the wild may change to various colors including pink, purple and green when kept under the lighting in our reef tanks."
