frogspawn may be changeing due to lighting change. It was under PC's for a long time, so you would definitely want to move it down low if you are running MH. Did you get your lights all fixed up yet?

I have some red slime and a little hair algae, does anything eat both of these?. Where the hair algae is only around the outside of the tuburnia frag i got at the last meeting, my snails and hermits aren't eating any of it. Will the cup coral still grow?

the light be fixed... i changed the sockets... but everything still under pc not mh...

As for red slime, need to get the water quality up to solve that one or if it is very small amounts may just go away on it's own as the tank get more mature over time..There really isn't any critters that take care of that stuff.....

If the hair algae has grown over a bald spot on the coral, very unlikely the coral with grow over that part and also could cause further dieoff around the area to worsen. You can take a dremel tool or the like and scrape that area back down to remove the algae and hope it has enough time to regrow before the algae can take hold again.....if water quality is good and no other real agae issue you have a good chance of recovery....
