More sponges, of the yellow variety. I think we are going to call them sponge bob's house as it does have a door to get in with windows.
Nother shot of the same sponge
A neon yellow sponge?
Sponges stuck onto some kind of red algae i think. verify that they are sponges and what is the red algae?

The last pic...I believe is Halimeda
The feather duster is just a plain old mini duster
The red, I believe to be a type of caulpera
Halimeda is in the DT and is different than whats in the sump. The halimeda is hard and rigid, the stuff in the sump is soft and limp, or plyable.

FUNNY....the Botryocladia is not in my algae book 
BUT I found this
This species forms clusters or stands of grapes similar to Caulerpa racemosa or bubbles, similar to the green Valonia or Ventricaria species. The better looking species, e.g., Botryocladia uvaria and B. pseudodichotoma are tasty to many herbivores, and also quite sensitive to changes in water quality. The B. skottsbergii species, often called Red Valonia is quite devastating, therefore read carefully its description below.

It is definatly not that bad stuff. I have seen plenty of pics of it and its not that. It appears to be the good tasty stuff. It looks extremely similar to
Which is the good stuff. The bad stuff looks like plain buble algea that grows on the rock. this stuff is on stalks and whatnot. What kind of critters will eat this stuff, fish wise?

So my "ball coral" is hidden cup coral? It doesnt quite look like the other stuff though. Hopefully whatever dwarf angel we get will eat the red stuff. Wife and I did the lemon juice again last night on all of the remaining aiptasia but one. So far this morning, we can only see the one we didnt squirt. We are crossing our fingers.
Edit : damn it s%*$. I spotted a few of the aiptasia. Heading out to the LFS to get the Joe's Juice.

I cant find a place around here that sells it. Can you post a pic of the bottle so I know what to look for? The one LFS that I went to when asked if they have joe's juice replied, "what is that? Who is joe?" All i can find is the aiptasia-x. I bought a bottle and will be trying it very soon. Check the tank thread for the results.

lemon juice/lime juice work for me. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/forum/thread/374082/lemon-juice/20
ITs best (IMO) to do it in a defferant container so you dont have to worry about the DT as much, but if you cant do that, just make sure not to use to much (or you ph will drop), iand i would reccomend a water change after dosing.
