    Hey Everyone,

    Any ideas what the circled things are? They were in the tank when I bought it from Craigslist.

    P.S.- please ignore the GHA/ aipstasia= I have been battling them since I bought the tank... unless you know a quick way to get rid of um ;D

    I guess my question was more of whether anyone knew what species?

    Also, are you saying the second pic are mushrooms too?

    Second pics are zooanthids or palythoas. Not sure on the species of mushroom will need it to grow more to have a better chance.

    some kind of mushrooms as for aipastasia have you tried directly squirting them with lemon juice and then siphoning them away and try some macro algae in your sump(if you have one) for your gha or maybe some mangrove shoots out the top of your tank if not?
