I hate my crappy focus camera. out of 20 shots this was thebest I could do.
I think one is a colony of tube worms...but I havent seen them open yet so I dunno. THey were black and floping over when I put the rock in, and a week later they are purple and upright. So I assume they are alive.


The other Im not so sure. At first I thought it was aptasia, but the stalk(kinda hidden from the angle) almost makes it look like a feather duster possibly.

If its aptasia I'm killing it before it becomes a problem.
As for the Tube things, are they ok to leave alone?
 
It's hard to tell that first picture could actually be some kind of polyp.
But the second picture I'm afraid is aptisia I'm pretty certain.

Hi
I agree on both of your guesses. especially the second photo containing aptasia. careful how you deal with that or you could have lots of offspring.
