Aiptasia or a friendly?

Heya 3reef peeps,

Ive had my 155L (sorry no idea what that is in gallons) salt water tank for about three months now and just recently got my last lot of live rock.

On one of the rocks there were a few anenome looking critters and seein as ive heard a few people talking about aiptasia in less than friendly terms i was wondering if thats what ive got?

Theres these two reddinsh orange ones...

and im not too sure how to add more than one pic so ill post again :-[

 

and there was this one larger whitish one

 

155 liters x .26417 = 41 gallons  ;D
I've never seen an atapsia with a long stalk like that. In the bottom picture. It sure looks like an anemone to me. (pun intended)
Enjoy your tank.
Jim

 

Cheers Diver, thanks for the help. I was getting a little worried there.

 

How big are they? Aiptasia will generally not get larger than 1" in diameter. By looking at your first picture, it looks like Aiptasia to me. I had one, took the rock out and threw it away! They are VERY hard to get rid of.

Hmmm they are not that big... no more than a couple of centimeters, that is of the diameter of the disc.

Its probably a bit hard to tell with the pictures hey...I'll try to get a pic or two of decent quality....

 

hi, in my tank I had a few of them but then I got a copper band and he took care of them in 2 days.never seen the again

 

What does the copperband eat now? I understand their diet consists mainly of coral polyps?

 

Hi, i think this is a better pic...

Ive been doing some looking around on various web sites and all the pictures ive found seem to look alot like mine  
Oh well i guess its time to find out wether joes juice is sold in australia or my LFS for that matter, i hear it works pretty good.

 

Whoops forgot to add the pic : :-[
