Hey guys was wondering if anyone could identify these? I have searched high and low and have no clue what to Google to find out. I'm new to these forums so I'm not sure if my pics will come out.
Thanks for the help and much appreciated [emoji846]

I took one with blues on and one with blues off.

Looks like aptasia (pest anemone)
Pull that rock out..and kill them with fire... sounds brutal..but they can and will over take a tank

Also this is my first saltwater tank but I've had cichlids for 8 years. I've also been researching saltwater for about 2 years.
My tank is 2 months old and is a 20g.
I had a big long thing written up but for some reason it wouldn't post so I shortened it. If you have any questions let me know and thanks again[emoji3]

Should be... only need to have the rock out of water for a few seconds... hit the aptasia with a lighter.. and back in the water

Gsp is pretty hearty... so it will be fine

Dont panic! Get yourself a hypodermic needle, fill it with white vinegar and give that little sucker a shot. While it is in the tank. He will melt before your eyes. Don't worry about the GSP, it is very hardy.
Cheers! Mark

I just wanted to say thank for the reply it was like 2 mins lol. By fire do you mean actually grab a lighter and flame it up? Should I be worried about toxins or things of that nature. I don't wanna die and I don't want my cat and dog to die. Sorry for the noob response

Lol that sounds better thanks Mark!
Can I just dump it in vinager and hold it there for a few minutes?

Our group has had a discussion of killing them with fire and some thought there was a vapor risk.

If you dump/soak the gsp in vinegar it would probably die.

So good news with that is the piece it's on is only about 8 inches...and it's about half dollar size round stick. GSP is on one end of it and the little devil's are on the opposite end. How's that for luck??

Yea, I used to use a pencil type torch and I stopped to be safe. I dont think there have been any issues but after that family got sick from steamy paly toxin, I figured is wasn't worth the risk.
Cheers!

Nice, dip the one end in vinegar and done (maybe a quick dip/rinse in a little tank water)
