    could anyone help me on these?
    they came on some rubble rock.
    I believe the first one is some type of anemone?
    the second is weird, it had a hard skeleton that it grew out of, it feeds on mysis it catches when they float by it.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    The 1st looks like a ball tip anemone, the second possible a cup coral or other type of dendro, but hard to say for sure from the image.

    The second may be a fungia but it is hard to tell right now.

    The ball tip nem is right on. I've read there not pests but it's everywhere now. Should I do something about it?

    And the second. The color of it seems off for a dendro. Kinda similar to fungia baby pics I searched because of the hard skeleton. But any other experts please help.
