The last image is a harmless feather duster. For an ID for the other images I need a daylight image to be sure if it's aiptasia versus hydroids.

Should i get rid of the rock out of my tank? One big live rock has heaps and another rock with zoas on it has like 2. Is there something i can get to get rid of them instead of throwing my rock its part of my set up

Hydroids....

Yup I would agree with Hydroids.

You can remove the rock, dry it or you could use patches of under water epoxy, cover the hydroids. If it were me and there were only a few I would use the patch method versus removing the rock.

Something like this??? Is that what you mean? Is there a certain brand i should use?? Will it harm my fish or corals? I dont need to pull the rock out todo it hey. Thanks for the help
