    Following on from my Aiptasia Anemone query i have taken a couple of more photos, can anyone identify and tell me if these are good or bad? One of the photos shows tubular 'tree branch' like growths that look dead? Also there is a grass/stubble like growth? Finally there are small plant like growths, anyone any ideas?

    Again as a bit of backround the marine 95ltr tank was only set up 5 days ago with cured Live rock.

    Thanks again!

    The first pic could also be the tubes of colonial hydroids.
