#1 I cant tell what that thing is.. possibly some macroalgae.
#2 Looks like those thingys that I cannot remember the names of... lol They're sharp right? Someone else will know the name. It escapes me at this moment.
#3 the things on the left/right are anemones.. a type of aptasia it looks like. The thing in the middle... does it move? It looks like a limpit.
#4 Looks like featherdusters.

I got mine on e### and you get a applactor with it and you apply a little right on the center of the aptasia.It kills them in just a few min.

I put a peppermint shrimp in my 30 gallon when it had a few aptasia. When I woke up in the morning...all aptasia were gone and I had one fat and happy peppermint shrimp

It's not a sure fire solution as some have reported that they tried and the shrimp didn't touch them.

Either way, joe's juice or peppermint shrimp - good luck!
