Both on the same piece of branching live rock

[richard kagen]

Bought from the LFS
The red dot ones are tiny with the red part about the size of a poppy seed
The Branching thingy is about the size of a nickel when opened and very sensitive to movement, snaps in quickly. Seems to be growing, gets lots of light
So far nothing has touched then and it is definately not a reef safe crew, take a look at the thrid picture
Thoughts?

Better picture of the red ones - enlarged

 

[speg]

first pic is aptasia.
second pic looks to be some small feather dusters.. I've never seen any like that though.
the third looks like a non-reef safe hermit. It's a "biggin"...

 

[speg]

Is this caribbean liverock by the way?

 

[kevin_bullis]

I agree, apista in the first pic, and very small feather dusters on the rest...very very small ones.

that's a bit flat and fat to be aptasia isn't it? Looks more like majano

 

[richard kagen]

not sure the source of the rock other than the LFS in the next town over
On the big one, the tenticles are all shrived on the end, it looks like that is how they are suppose to grow

I had a bunch of those exact ones that grew on my old live rock.

 

[hunt]

the first looks like a majano

 

[teresaq]

Look at pictures of rock anemones. The first looks like a very small one.
The other looks like either small feather dusters of hydroids.

On the caribbean liverock they have here at a wholeseller, these anemones, as well as more familiar 'aptasia-looking' anemones cover the rock.

 

[richard kagen]

that picture looks like a big one of what we have. Should I kill it? Will it take over. It is carnavore tank so there will be plenty of food

 

[richard kagen]

OK, we zapped it with Red Sea Aiptasia-X. We will see if it worked
May sound like a crazy question, but we have dozens of tiny things growing on the glass and probably the rock. They are tiny spec with translucent "legs" they are the size of grain of fine sand. When you squish them with your finger you can not even feel it.
My fear is that these are babies of the Aiptasia/Majano but hoping they are some kind of pods? anyone
Really too small for a picture, but I will try

Do a search for "Hydroid jellyfish" on google images.. see if that's them.

 

[richard kagen]

That looks like them. In a quick search, it seems that these little white one are harmless filter feeders.
