I have been to 3 local stores and they are not familiar with what is found d on my frag. They are almost black in appearance and look like mini mushrooms almost. The frag is an acan but what's on the frag doesn't seem like new acan heads to me. One picture is of the hitch hikers and the other is of the acan itself.

Red circle looks like Aiptasia, yellow circles look like, well, kind of hard to tell. Can you get a better picture by any chance?
I'm trying to get good pictures uploaded but they get degraded so much when uploaded to reef2reef. The video looks the best out of all of them. The fanned part of the creature in question is solid and at the very edge of the rim is clearish. The foot and neck of the creature reminds me of an anemone.

In the video the red circle from #1 looks like aiptasia?
 
Not aptasia or duster but rather barnacles
