    First pic is Aiptasia, get rid of it before it multiples. I forget the name of the 2nd pic.

    I picked up a few peppermint shrimp the other day, what a pleasure it was to watch one of them track down the only tiny visible aiptasia in my 125 and tear it to shreds. Chances are if there's 1 aiptasia you can see in your tank, there is more that will start popping up soon.

    not sure what those worms are.

    Is that a peanut worm??


    I don't think they are anything to worry about whatever it is. I have a bunch of these.

    Looks like #2 might be a peanut worm as well. A little hard to tell with the picture though, try googling peanut worm to see if it looks the same. If it is it's a beneficial worm.
