Need help identifying things on my live rock

[perryfletcher]

I was looking on my live rock today and realized I have no clue what stuff is on it. I mean I have a general idea but can specifically tell you the name of any of it and I need your help.
First is a picture of the rock in question with all the stuff on it. I did the best I could with my camera but I am no photo expert when it come to taking pictures inside of a tank.

Next is some type of coral I think. Either it popped up out of nowhere or I just had not seen it until today.It is a light brown with a lime colored mouth.

Next is what I believe is a sponge of some type it is a dark grey almost black with a little light grey in it. It looks like candle wax running down the side of my rock.

Next seems to be some type of maroon algae

And last is what appears to be green algae

Will you all help educate me and tell me exactly what all of this stuff is and let me know if it is good or bad to have?
I have also noticed about 5 new things that look like the are what is called tube worm feather dusters they have tentacles that are white with a maroon stripe running around them but the only problem is that most are in tubes but one is not it is just in a hole so is there a chance that they are aiptasia instead? They are so small right now it is hard to make out much detail.[

[perryfletcher]

The grey/black thing is a sponge. I have a tonga branch that is is almost completely coered with it. Did not know it till I took the tank down because it was being used as a support rock and was under all the other rocks. Should not hurt anything, actually sponges are great because they are good filtration.

I was thinking the same thing as nissanrs. I was like his rock is blue, what the heck

 

[perryfletcher]

everything came with my live rock when I bought it 5 days ago.

okay I am looking up that manjo anomeme right now but I can not find one that looks like mine yet.

It could be a zoa/paly but its hard to tell from the pic

 

[perryfletcher]

I am no expert but it looks more like a zoa to me but I just cant find out what the name is.

 

[nissanrs]

is ther a such thing as blue coraline algae, and if so could it be introduced to live rock

 

[perryfletcher]

What is it?

Here is some more pictures of it under diffrent camera settings. Unfortunatly it was not spread out it got camera shy on me and closed up.

 

[perryfletcher]

I just did a little touch test on this thing with a net. It sucked into a hole. I assume zoas will not do that right?

 

[am07f]

Yea thats a majano anemone, they dont spread as fast as apstasia but they do pretty good damage. And most killers dont work well on them. I have a couple and im fine, im sure you are too.

 

[perryfletcher]

Thanks for identifing him for me. That sucks to have him. Never the less I am going to go get some pickle lime to start feeding him.

 

[perryfletcher]

I now have a positive id on it. It is called a Tulip Anemone. I think it is a type of majano though and since wal-mart did not have any pickling lime (out of season) I have to find another way to get rid of it.

 

[perryfletcher]

Okay I shot him with a mouth full of vinegar using a needle. We will see how that works.

 

[FishyFarr]

I have some things like this on my live rock but the tentacles are clear maybe whitish on tips and only come out at night. Look pretty cool actually and only one piece of live rock I got from a guy who lives near me.
any ideas?

 

[perryfletcher]

It worked he is gone.
