I got some live rock from another member and it is fantastic except I have what I think is Aiptasia. Am I right? I picked up some Aiptasia-X, but will not pull the trigger until I am sure. When I touch them with my tweezers, they pull into a little ball.

The other ones, I believe are Feather Dusters, so I will leave them alone, unless otherwise directed.

The tank is not green like the pictures show, the camera sure makes it look that way though!

Thanks for your help.

feather duster you are correct on, the others look like majano anemones (pests)

Yeah, I assumed either Aiptasia or Manjano. I have the aiptasia-X to take care of them.

Here are a few more hitchhikers I have found so far.

What I believe is a Dwarf Zerbra Hermit Crab.

And these two I need help on.

Last picture is a mushroom. I would agree on the hermit. The middle looks like a bubble algae maybe

The one you figure might be Bubble Algae is shaped just like the mushrooms

That is the general consensus. I nuked all the Manjano last night with Aiptasia X. It worked great. Now I hope they are gone, but I am ready for the war if they make a comeback. I also found a Brittle Star in the rock last night. Pretty cool animal.
