imo i think you're fine .
but if you really wanna get rid of stuff... green star polyps are bad and the leathers are bad too but since you like them... may be a little nano for them would be nice .

Also take care of the Xenia, it usually spreads to every rock.

I agree, get rid of the xenia before it takes over.

Hello,
In such a small tank it would be best to remove the GSP's, and Toadstool leather. IMO the Yellow leather (Sarcophyton elegans) might be kept with regular water changes and use of carbon.

The coral called Kenya Tree is often associated with several different soft coral Genus. The one I use the name for is Capnella sp.. It is considered low toxicity and does not grow or multiply as quickly as other similar species. Some species can develop an attractive blue/green coloration under higher light conditions. It is possible that they can be adversely affected by being placed too close to some stony corals. I cannot name specific species as I have not kept them with stony corals.

Regards,
Kevin
