    Just bought a tank off craigslist and the only thing I can ID is a carpet anemone and a torch coral that tripled once I put it in my tank. Need some help please. Thanks in advance.

    Looks to be 2 Tube Anemones.
    Maroon clownfish.
    Hairy mushrooms.

    Those are mushrooms? Well there is three different colors they all look like the same thing. What is good to keep and what isn't?

    I would keep them all.

    Carpet anemones can be intermediate to difficult in newer tanks, research is needed.
    Tube anemones, do not require high lighting like other anemones, I consider them more worm like than anemones but that's me. Some say that they can or will kill fish. I had fish go missing when I had them but I never witnessed the Tube Anemone eating any fish.
    The mushrooms are different types of Rhodactus.

    Of all you got the Carpet would be the most worrisome to me.
