If his fins are being blown around, there's too much flow.
He's pretty!
That's halimeda on the right. It's not a nuisance algae so it shouldn't get out of control. It's one of the macros that like calcium.

Take out that extra powerhead and see what that does.
Someone suggested that name for mine last night when they found out he didn't have one.

That's not enough algae to sustain a sea hare. It's not a nuisance algae, you can just pluck it off and it's gone.
