Need help IDing some stuff on new acro frags

[DieselJunkie]

I need some help on this. I got two new acro frags today, once it came out of the bag, it looked like maybe there was a hitchhiker feather duster or barnicle.

There is a green looking sponge maybe?

Also a decent amount of algae, some red hair and it looks like maybe bryopisis. It is hard to take a good picture of it though. Do you see the same, or am I wrong here and it is aptasia, some monster and byropsis?

it is about to get a bayer dip and go into QT. Should I perioxide the stone base?

I would cut the coral off the base. Always.

cut the base off with a hand held garden clipper. Or take a knife and try to pry the acro off. Looks lke a Abro.

Thanks. Just noticed on top of the acro, there is a smaller fan looking "thing" it pulses open to close pretty rapidly.

like the forth picture above and opens and closes pretty rapidly. it is actually on the coral

I cut them off of the rocks and put them on frag plugs.

I think the feathery pulsing things are barnicles. They are round and hard and dont come off easily. No tube but almost like a pimple.

So this one had me laughing pretty hard because it made me jump when it started to move.

but, what the heck is the thing that is moving. Whatever it is, it lived through 10 min of milky white bayer bip.

Hard to see maybe an acro crab?
