Hello all,

I’m super new. Currently cycling a 55 gallon with around 90lb dry and 10lb live I’ve noticed some life. I can’t tell if all of this is aptasia or some of it. I’m hoping someone can help identify this stuff so I know how to proceed.

Lastly, this I don’t think is aptasia, but haven’t been able to figure out what it is.
