need help with 2 IDs

[BL1]

So this first guy, I thought it was just a piece of algae growth but, when I went to pull it out it hid in the sand bed. It came back out after a few mins.

I think this guy is a ball anem, but I'd like to make sure

Thanks everyone!

Aiptasia-spelling is prob wrong. Looks like it to me, bad stuff, takes over the tank, bad hitchiker from the rock. Do you or can you get a few peppermint shrimp? They eat it and take care of it. Wait until some others chime in.

 

[BL1]

Well, I also got a peppermint shrimp as a hitchhiker but, he's always hanging out on the other side of the tank and doesn't go near it.

You need to kill it, they got stuff at the fish store you inject into Joes something as I remember.

Unfortunately no LFS here so it'll have to be an online purchase.
I'm assuming you've been referring to the first two pics?

Joe's Juice or Aiptasia X, are 2 different kinds of pest anemone killers. PetSmart, etc. may have it, if you have one of those stores near you.

Yep, looks like aiptasia. get some Aiptasia X as others have recommended and inject the syringe into it. Easy to kill'em you've just got to stay on top of it so it doesn't overwhelm the tank.

There's a 50/50 chance that peppermint shrimp will eat the aiptasia. Some will some won't.

Aiptasia-X works the best. The last two pictures may be Ball Anemones.
