Bristleworms. Good detritus eaters. Just don’t touch them.Found these this morning. Good or bad?
Good deal, I'll pop them back in with the live rock. Unfortunately they probably won't last in the DT once melanarus sees em lol.
Yeah, unfortunately I've superglued a couple of those so far from the same batch of LR.
Possibly, but neither of those have a skeleton, and would usually have a colored base. There are clearish ball anemones it appears (based on what I googled haha). One thing I have observed looking at pictures of ball anemones is that their tentacles are clear, with a colored tip that likely carries the stinging cells. However, if you look at these pictures, it appears there are nematocysts (at least what I'm guessing are nematocysts) throughout the tentacle. Also, I have one that looks exactly like that, so I guess I'm basing some of my ID off of what I have observed. It hasn't moved, has the same spotting on the tentacles. However, I have not seen a skeleton on mine nor on the large one that OP posted.

However, the clump next to the hermit crab in that first picture is certainly a star coral- I can see the skeleton- keep feeding it and it will continue to grow
I always had trouble with feeding reef roids to corals with tentacles that they use to direct food towards their mouths- if you do decide to do reef roids I'd try to position the rock so the corals are directly upright since roids would have the tendency to just kinda slough off otherwise. Also important with roids is to turn off all flow since any flow at all will blow the roids right off these guys. I usually went with mysis, and if my mysis was too big I'd try to cut it in half with tongs, and I made sure to do that with every head since I wasn't sure if the nutrients are shared between heads. I have personally had better growth rates among all my corals with meaty foods over powder/pellet foods, but as long as you are making sure they are actually consuming whatever food you're feeding them, you should be able to get measurable growth. You'll be able to see the roids through the clear tissue after you feed- good luck and post progress pics!
Almost looks like some type of jellyfish- is that pink base attached to the stingy tentacle things? How does it move, if at all?Got another one.. What is it? Good bad?
