Think this is a daisy poly? sp?

As you can see, my camera is not designed to take long distance macros

Please let me know what they are and if they are dangerous.

Thanks

1 and 3 are aiptasia... not a good thing. Number 1 might actually be majano instead of aiptasia, but either way... it's not good. Both multiply like wildfire and will sting your corals.

2 is hard to tell, could be a sponge

4 looks like Anthelia/Clavularia

1 is a majano
2 cant tell
3 is aiptasia
4 is good a polyp

1} Is a Majano, for sure....

2} My poor eyesight can't help ya..

3} Aiptasia

4} I too believe it is a Clavularia/Clove polyp.

Your Joking?

I wll manually remove them without popping them right now.

Cheers....

Dont manually remove the aiptasia or Majano or you run the risk of spreading them further! Peppermint shrimps work well on small aptaisia or a product called Joes Juice will wipe em out for you.
