    These were never bought. The first 2 pics of the green ones started with 1 now i have like 7, and then the ones that honestly worry me are the ones from the last picture. These have started to bloom in the tank but they don't look any good.

    The first looks to be a majano nem. And the second is aiptasia. Kill them both if you can. They can reproduce very fast and have a sting potent enough to bother corals in your tank.

    +1 Majano and Aiptasia.

    You'll need to kill them now or have a serious issue down the road. They both can be very invasive and carry potent stinging cells.

    It seems they are not that easy to get rid of. Any advice on how to do so. Hobby knife? Credit card seems too thick, and the aptasia seems to hide the moment i touch it. How would scrubbing the rocks work??

    I have had the greatest success smothering the aiptasia in kalkwasser paste. A search for kalk paste will bring up tons of threads.
