Are we having fun yet?
It is the coolest hobby!!
I'm curious where Australian rock comes from- is it aquacultured or wild harvested? Looks to be really full of life- somebody did a good job collecting it!
Everything looks excellent and don't worry about the algae- it will work itself out.

Hey Toni, how are ya.
Yeah buddy im having sooooo much fun, this is the greatest. I dont know why i started with Freshwater in the first place.....oh well.
Yes, it is wild harvested, which i buy direct from the diver. I cant believe the new stuff that pops up every morning.....bloody awesome.
The anemones and corals are doing great.

If the blue star is a linckia it eats the film that develops on the tank walls and rock- needs a well established tank to survive.
The feather star (is that the same as a Basket star?) I know nothing about except how hard they are to keep going.
And the urchin may be bad news- they graze on corals and coralline algae.
Do some research on Google and try to find out exactly what species things you have so we can figure out how well they may do.
And I'd respectfully caution you to slow down on adding any more creatures- things need to time stabilize quite a bit in a new tank. Letting it simmer for a few months is the best thing you can do- maybe add a clean up crew of snails and hermits, but nothing else.

Your call- do some searching around to get some more opinions than just me 
Is that a Platygyra and a hammer coral up there? As hitch hikers? Cool!
