If you are talking about the little "teardrop" shaped things on the side of your rock, I would say no....they don't look like aptasia to me.

Anyone else?

Ya the teardrop things. I knoticed them after my Cerith snails laid eggs. I have a crap load of little white swirls all over my rock, glass, and then these pods started to appear

pretty sure that is just a filter feeder. I can't remember the name of it at the moment, something related to the tunicate or sponge I think... nothing to worry about

I think that they are a calcerous sponge or something.

I've seen many of them in my tank, mostly on the back glass behind the rockwork.
