First pic: looks like some regular brown colonial polyps. Doesn't look harmful.
Second pic: Looks like an aptasia to me. Kill It With Fire. (Or Joe's Juice, since it's hard to light a fire underwater)
Third Pic: What are you looking at here? The feathery thing? It's a tube worm, a mini-feather duster if you will. I also see a vermetid snail tube in the foreground, and what might POSSIBLY be an aptasia in the far background. Hard to tell the background animal.

True peppermint shrimp. Will eat apatasia. At least they did for me. I got 3 fri and Monday it was gone. I also feed the shrimp and they still ate it. So I recommend them. Just make sure u get actual peppermint shrimp. Some lfs market camel shrimp as peppermint shrimp and those won't eat it.

I see an Aiptasia on the left and a Featherduster in the middle in the third picture.

In addition, there are several different species of "Peppermint Shrimp". Only L. wurdemanni will regularly eat Aiptasia.

Agreed. I knew somebody would chime in w the scientific name. Lol my lfs is reliable on there species and that's where I got my shrimp. But if in doubt online ordering using there scientific name will help
