ARRRGGG Algae help!!!

[slider101]

Yep, looks like I now have green hair algae, caulerpa racemosa, and valonia macrophysa ( bubble Algae). Are these harmful? How do I get rid of them?

You need to figure out what is causing the algae. Mist likely your nitrates or phosphates, or both are too high. What kind of water are you using? If it is tap that could be the source of phosphate. Emerald crabs eat hair algae, and I think they eat bubble algae too. Do not pop the bubble algae or it spreads.
