The green stuff growing from the rocks looks like some higher form of algae such as a type of caulerpa - beneficial as it will take up phosphates.

The little fellas on the glass are also harmless (I think) and will probably end up as dinner for somebody in your tank. Sure someone on here will put a name to them. I used to see those sort of things but not after I got a six line wrasse - seemed to shift them all.

In Number 2, those circled by red lines appear to be Hydroids, and those circled in green lines look like copepods. Without a closer picture I cant really make out your Number 1's. They do look like Macro-Algae as suggested by bobf.

ok thanks could i just scrape off the stuff on glass with the mag-float or should ileave it also il try getting a better pic later of number 1
cheers

I'd leave both be.

If you start chasing the stuff off the glass you'll be there forever, plus they'll be back again tomorrow. The green stuff is a 'goodie' anyway.

ok cheers the green stuff has grown alot since i first saw it also i cleaned my front glass so i can see but i left the sides and back
