Was wondering if someone can identify what's in the 2 pictures please.

Saw the Facebook post of R2R of aiptasia on the polyp frag and was wondering if that's what I have or if it's part of the polyps.

The second picture has a white sponge like thing on it. And not sure what it is.

These are from my 14 Biocube and both frags have doubled in size in the last 3 months.

Thanks in advance!

That first pic is definitely aiptasia. You will want to get rid of it ASAP. You can use Joe's Juice, aiptasia-X or lemon juice.

That looks like a tunicate, harmless filter feeder. Hard to tell from the pic but it should have what appears to be two tubes. Easily removed.
