Need some help with these :)

[Ashr]

hey all

I was hoping to get some help with these hitchhikers. If you have any ideas please let me know!

Thanks



These are on the same rock

First ones look like Aptasia to me, others will be here to help also... I have no idea what the second one is, maybe some macro algae??

 

[Cassette87]

Agreed, first is Aiptasia, a somewhat nuisance anemone, that can spread rapidly. The red appears to be a red turf macro algae which can get out of hand quickly.I know from experience it's also being discussed here. Not to sure about the little green guys without checking the books. Hope this helps!

The green ones are a type of macroalgea, Nemoeris annulata. Some people do not like them, but I do not think they are harmful.

I have about 6 of these little guys.. I have no fish in the tank yet and just my clean up crew.

They are pretty small still.. should I get rid of them?

 

[Ashr]

Nm looks like I should, I do have my red legged hermit crabs but they dont touch these things.

The top one is a hydroid.

They typically die off in a tank but can reach plague proportions.


Opps the second one

 

[Ashr]

Great!

Thank you

I am in the works to remove the Aptasia.

 

[Ashr]

Anyone have any thoughts on

Joe's Juice or Aptasia X for removing Aptasia? I have both to choose from and wanted to know what others think.

 

[Ashr]

Hey guys

I used Aiptasia-X and its all gone stuff worked really well

 

[goldenmean]

Joes Juice works well too. - for future reference

 

[Ashr]

Something new


Seems I have a lot of tiny white/transperant little things on my glass. They seem to have a round center with 3 to 4 / 5 little legs ( I think ) They are much to small to take a picture though I did try.. any ideas?

 

[imsobored152]

probably pods, harmless

 

[1Reefer]

idk what they are called but I have thing that look exactly like your description, and have had them for years in my reef tank... never seen any harm done by them

 

[Reefmack]

"tiny white/transperant little things on my glass............"

sounds like it might possibly be these?

Those look almost identical to what I have in my tank... idk about the OP, mine just have less strings per leg, they don't look that delicate and thready..
