#2 is a common brown polyp. Kill it now. It is very invasive and will take over your tank.

Whats the best way to get rid of it?? Suck it out with a hose? I don't want to use chemicals...

epoxy over it, crazy glue, learn to love it lol. the second one looks like some type of clove polyp. Equally invasive and should probably go but some people buy them so...


Either way not Aiptasia

I can't tell what the first one is but I have the second one in my tank, I did buy it and I love it. I believe it's called a brown star polyp. I have a little colony of them and think they look like a daisy flower....love them!!! I have mine touching mushrooms and other polyps and it's doing no harm. I would keep it.

Could #1 be an anemone? I have rock anemone that don't look too far off...but cannot tell 100% by these pictures. Chance for a clearer shot for #1?

Tweezers or smother it with some epoxy :-)
