What are these guys. They seem to be multiplying but not getting any bigger. They are pretty small. These have been here quite a few months. There is also a bristle worm (have LOTS of those)
Thanks

Not Aptasia. Looks to me like a species of hydroids. Arrow crabs can help you take care of the small bristle worm. You’ll still want to remove big bristleworms as you see them.
