Can't tell what these are...

I thought it was a anthellia but all the pictures I find it doesn't look anything like it.

Also is this a aiptasia looks just like other pictures I find just want to make sure.

Yes.

No. Possibly a Lemnalia, Nephthea, or Scleronephthya.

And welcome to RC.

Looks like a Kenya Tree. Which narrows us down to half-a-dozen groups. :fun5: :lol:

I usually just figure Capnella for that style of Kenya Tree, but one of the ones Navyblue listed is very possible also. With the variety across the groups (or even within the same species), and the overlapping similarities, it can be a pain identifying established specimens. Frags are even worse.

the second pic is a aiptasia

Yea I thought it was a kind of Kenya tree.

The aiptasia looks cool but I know it's a pest.

Agreed, probably Capnella. Lemnalia and Scleronephthya should have much more pronounced spicules than what that piece seems to have.

Capnella has non retractable polyps. The photo looks like the polyps are retracted and not fully opened to me. But yes, these "tree corals" are a pain to ID.
