The clownfish has adopted the rock of furry mushrooms as its hangout. There is a blennie that likes to compete for the same area. The clownfish is likely a female. The smaller male is across the tank hiding out in some Xenia.
This acro is finally beginning to develop blueberry tips (click on the picture for a larger view).

The green coral is a Endive Hydnophora (Horn coral). It has recently developed some black spots that appear to be growing. The problem is that it is growing on a large piece of live rock along with other corals so it would be impossible to remove it for closer examination and possible treatment. In that case, if whatever it is continues its attack, it will be necessary to remove one or more healthy frags and start new colonies.
