I'd love some help identifying the three new algaes that have suddenly appeared in my tank - I've looked around the web but can't seem to find anything that matches.

1. Red leafy with tiny red spots - almost looks like flower petals
2. Behind this red algae is green fern like stuff - very small and slower growing.
3. Bright green (almost neon) knobs. Several lone specimens around the tank. About the size of a grain of rice.

Even if they can't be identified, they look very pretty - are they okay to keep? Thanks!

Hiya.

I'm not sure about the bright green thing.
The brown thing with spots, I thinkthat's kelp.
The green thing is hard to tell, but could be feather caulerpa.

#1 looks like brown wafer
#2 bryopsis
#3 neomeris annulata

#3 is cool, the others are pests (IMO)
