Corallimorph or small anemone?

[chuckNmelissa]

Not sure what this hitchhiker is on our live rock. The other day I fed it a piece of shrimp and it balled up and ate it. (pics attached)

Also, there is another hitchhiker on the same rock, and I have no clue what it is. It is flat and hard but does have some very small tentacles/polyps around it. It has been growing since we got the live rock.



Any identification would help! Thanks.

The first and 2nd pic definitely looks like an aiptasia. You should definitely kill that thing before it starts spreading and taking over your tank. The 3rd pic looks like some sort of awesome mushroom. Definitely do not kill that.

Actually 3rd pic looks like a diseris(spelling?) plate coral.

Does it have a skeleton?

The first two pics dont look like apastsia . +1 on the plate coral thats prob what it is or some type of lps try and get some closer zoomed in pics of the two and we can get u a better id but the first two look like corallimorph does it have the small little balls at the ends of the tenticals ? And also does it have any type of color tonir ? Its hard to tellbin the pics but a way u can c if its what we think those r very sticky anenomes qhere apastasias r not all that sticky if u feed it canbu pull the food back away from it ? I def dont think thats apastsia though.

Mehano maybe in first two pics bad news ice those suckers fast if it is.. Ask me how I know. Can't see pic that clear but has body structure like them.

Def. not aptasia.its cool looking whatever it is. If it hasn't killed anything or caused a problem just let it ride.

Kalk paste the fist two,majano nuisance anemones,keep the plate coral,nice find...

 

[Liexicof15]

whatever they are, it doesn't look like aptasia. Just my thought.

I guess this thread left him just as in the dark as he was when he posted it

It's most likely a Majano anemone in the first two pictures. Might be some other anemone too... Majanos come in many different colors, and sometimes people even think they are Zonathids or Protopalythoa. I actually happen to think that they are rather interresting and that they make their own little addition in the biodiversity of the reef. Just my opinion...

The third picture is more tricky... It might even be some macro algae. Some look a lot like corals and even grow a skeleton. If you could privode better pictures it may be easier to identify.
But don't kill them! Not untill you know for sure what they are... But the first two, 100% sure that NOT Aiptasia...
