Coral/ Funk ID

I have been looking around for a while and cant seem to find the answers im looking for. So I ask for your help.

Is this a Rock Anemone? None of the ones that my searches turn up are a match.

Or is this one a Rock Anemone?

Both of my Clownfish have these spots on them, Im guessing its black ich. Just wanted to make sure before I remove them from their RBTA.

This stuff just showed up on my Copperband. I have seen Oodinium on the fins, but I thought it was white.

Ok, now onto some zoa's.

I think these are Lord of the Rings, but I cant tell from the photos on ZoaID. I got them from Chelsea, maybe someone else that got some from her knows what they are. Or piberoptikz Rockstar Supernova, Pennies from Heaven, Pink Zoot Suits, Pucker Pinks,

Blood Wines?

Sorry bad photo. Had to reduce the quality too much to upload it.
Could they be Tickle Me Pinks, Sweet Pink,Coco's Pinks, piberoptikz Rockstar Supernova, Daytrippers...I cant tell a difference.

Purple Fissions or just some of the previous ones that have lost some color.

Sorry there are so many I have been saving them up for a while.

And Stupid if you are out there, this is the first question I have asked in months..I think

Thanks

I am no expert by far, But I have had a few clowns over the years and I have always been told that black spots are nothing to worry about, that they can come and go due to stress and/or they are age spots. I would say check on the dis FAQ on WWM to be sure though.

As far as the last two Pics I would say different, the second to last IMO are daytrippers and they look very good how far do you put them down in the tank (light relative) I had small cluster of them when I did the tank move and the Five poylps on it have not looked well since they never open up fully So I was just curious.

They are about 7" from the bottom of a 125 and the lights are 7" from the water so about 24" below a 250w 14k Reeflux.

From what WWM says they could be age spots or stress related spots but not a parasite.

Yeah there is a "black ich" but it only effects tangs and there has been no confirmed cases of it with clowns.. but that doesn't necessarily mean anything... is he breathing hard or scratching, acting weird at all?

 

[ncox38]

Nope they are as happy as can be and eat anything I put in there, Mysis, Formula one, Formula 2, small pieces of krill.

and thought they might be what was in your first picture... well just a thought

they do not look like prazoanthus or rock anemone to me. They actually look like a Vietnamese camao paly. How do they spread and is there a skin connecting them. good luck

I actually saw some of the ones in the first picture for sale at a LFS on Wednesday, so I hope they are not a pest. They werent sure what they were either though. I will check how they are connected. The weird thing is that they were growing under a rock with virtually no light, I moved the rock and there they were.
