Well done Furbz!! It looks pretty awesome man! what are those green things on the right though? look like some kind of algae?
indeed... some sort of bubble algae...
just started sprouting out of the rock.
doesnt look bad tho. and is not growing so we shal leave it...
if need be i will remove them manually..
i would remove them myself. Makes more space for corals
First, let me say the tank looks AWESOME!! 
Second, you might want to reconsider keeping the bubble algae. Here's a link with info on this algae. Sounds like it can become quite a problem if let go.

From above article your algae is a good bio-indicator for marine radioactive pollution!!??:wtf:
No wonder you say everything is growing like mad, they are all nuclear china!!!!!! Seriously though what do they mean by this and how does it show up in your tank??
Well, I doubt you have to worry about radioactivity... and I don't know how half the stuff that shows up gets in there. I guess there are all sorts of 'things' lurking in that "live rock" so the basic components needed are there. Didn't mean to scare you... just meant that, although it's cool looking, you might want to get rid of it now.
I thought aiptasia was cool at first and decided to keep it because I didn't know what it was. Now I know... still fighting with it!

indeed... when i have some spare time i will...
for the past 3 months they haven't grown any further...
i do know they can become a problem.
but i really dont want to disturb this tank just yet...
its looking to good!
i may do it in my next holidays by removing the entire rock and then slowly cutting around them with a knife to ensure that it doens't spread.
popping them is a bad idea!!
Wow...Stunning looking system...That clam looks awesome...
Furbz, well done, this is one stunner of a tank. Something similar my wife always wanted. You did a real good job on the coral placement and everything looks "natural" . Again, amazing tank, keep up the good work. This tank is really an inspiration to a lot of people
Oh, before I forget- remove this asap
