Double checking, are these good/bad?

[DCFix]

I checked out the aiptasia thread, but didn't get to see much detail. So I wanted to get some help with these 4 things.

I'm hoping #4 are safe, since there are plenty of thise in my tank. The other 3 look the same and I think they are aiptasia, but want to confirm. I just got these live rock from another member's tank, and this is my first setup, so I'm trying to preserve as many lifeforms as I can.
Thanks in advance.

1 and 2... no 3 and 4 im not possitive. Read this to get rid of 1 and 2 which are the same thing.

Based on what I could tell from the pics you have a healthy growth of aiptasia with possibly some mojano anemones (pic one and two). I see kalk and a syringe in your future, possibly also a peppermint shrimp or two.


Good Luck,

All of the photos look like aiptasia to me. They are a nusiance anenome that can practically live out of water. Check the thread on aiptaisia on this forum. Things that can help controls aiptasia are peppermint shrimp, copper band butterfly, berghia nudibranchs, Joes Juice, boiling water/syringe, and injecting Kalk. This is not a comprehensive list and I encourage you to do further research on which option will work best for you and your tank.

Picture 4's not an anemone. Looks like a feather duster. Hard to tell by the picture but telling by the tube, its a duster.

Yes I checked that thread for recommended treatments. I just couldn't tell by the photos if some of mine were aiptasia or feather dusters.
Thank you all for your input. I will most likely use the vinegar method and later on some peppermint shrimp for maintenance.
Good thing I have the rock just sitting in a temporary tank so I can treat them when I transfer the rocks to my main tank in a week or so.

I agree with Andrew. I would get rid of 1, 2, and 3.

4 Looks safe--tube worms.

well i`d say number 4 is polyps form of a coronate scyphozoan jellyfish.

Nice photos. My #4 looks just like those! Did you remove them from your tank?

 

[Paintbug]

1,2,3 are aptasia. 4 are some type of hydroid for sure.

4 looks like hydroids to me too.

i do have some in my tank but they have never become a problem for me to bother about them.
