One probable aiptasia and 2 mysterious corals ?
- Thread starter phf
- Start date
First is aiptasia. Second looks like maybe a toadstool? Sponge? Third i saw for the first time yesterday and apparently they are just some type of worm that is a harmless filter feeder. I think they look cool myself.
Idk if sponges will have polyps like that so hopefully someone with more knowledge chimes in soon.

Awesome Xmas tree worms.. Purple and white 
cool critters
cool crittersThanks a lot all of you !
Will fight against the aiptasia...s because I just notice another one. Badly located.
Good news then for the Xmas tree ! I have not fed it yet, probably there is enough in the water but should I ?
For the toadstool, mine has no leg. Is that the early stage and then the leg will grow later ?

I would suggest feeding the Christmas tree feather duster tube worms - many slowly starve in our tanks b/c of limited particles floating in the water column. They are filter feeders and do best if spot feed on a regular basis. Here is some more info on these worms, including suggestions on what to feed them: Fan Worms: Feather Duster Worms and other Fan Worm Species and scroll down to "filter feeding feather dusters" here Innovative Marine Aquaculture. And here is a great article on them: Aquarium Invertebrates: Featherdusters In The Aquarium — Advanced Aquarist | Aquarist Magazine and Blog. Happy reading!
