    The two red unidentifieds look to be baby red tipped anenomies but I could be wrong.





    Just noticed the other thing last night but does it appears to be a small Aiptasia[font="Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif"]?[/font]

    Its a small rock about the size of two golf balls so should I just pull it out and let them die off or are they ok to stay?

    If you can easily remove them and kill them do it. Both majanos and aiptasia are invasive pests that can quickly get out of control.

    If you can remove the rock easily take it out. Please. This will turn into a disaster fast. They are very bad. Its aiptasia and majano anemones as stated above.
