Can Anyone Id This Plese ?

[MrBrown]

Hi Guys/Girls, if anyone could ID the Aiptasia looking thing, I would be greatful not sure if it is aiptasia as the tentacles are quite short and stubby ...
Do I need to get rid of it or is it safe ???

Also the purple matt bobbly stuff

Thanks in advance

Mojano Anenome possibly, look at the pik below, does it look like that? Its a small pest anenome similar to Aptasia. You can use something like Joes Juiece or Aptasia X to kill it. Aparently if left un treated will multiply and infest your tank. It has a powerfull sting. I had one which I left because I liked the looks of it, I now have quite a few and will be eradicating this weekend.

I agree with Alex as the first pic at a glance defo looks like a mojano pest anenome and i would use something like joes juice to get rid before it starts to multiply and take over your tank...

The second pic i would say was of some sort of polyps on the LR that are not currently open, as a guess i would say they were zoas.

With the ralative size, I'd say they were some form of xinea/star polyps. Deffinately a polyp of some form though, and friendly

The aptasia-like thing is probibly a pest as the others have said

All the best

Ah thanks for the replies I was hoping I wouldnt have to zap it, as it does look pretty cool
will get shot of it before it spreads

I have the same thing on a rock that I got probably 3 or 4 months ago, and it never spread. I have Aiptasia which spread like crazy and very quick, so either this kind is not a pest or just takes longer to spread.
