hitchhiking corals

[kdfwr918]

We bought a frag of a xenia coral this weekend and I noticed there are a couple different corals on the rock.
Any ideas of what they are? Trying to figure out if they are good or bad..

Not sure, but I'm thinking Mejano anemone=pest!

The first one looks like a zoa, the second looks like the mejano anemone.

I agree, the three in the middle look like palys (zoas) and the one on the bottom is a majano (pest)

#1 -
#2 Pink Tip Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) I am undecided maybe not

I"m pretty sure Matt and Teresa got this right. I thought the tentacles were too long for the middle ones to be palys/zoas, but I guess some have longer lashes!

Agree here, the ones with the flat oral disk and long tentacles are some sort of zoanthid or palythoa. The one with the pretty purple tips is majano. This must be taken care of or it will over run the tank spreading everywhere.
