Aiptasia or no?

I know these white ones in the middle and right are aiptasia. Can anyone tell me if the brown ones are as well?

I don't see any Aptasia in that photo.

So even the white one in front of the green star polyps aren't? Something else? Maybe a younger version of whatever the brown ones are? Newbie here. My LFS ID the white ones as aiptasia from this photo. So I hit those with AiptasiaX.

To me those are all Zoas of one sort of another. Aptasia generally are brown/purple and have a translucent stalk

When Aiptasia are treated with Aptasia-x, they will almost always shrink right away.
The key to using aptasia-x is to cover the entire oral disk with the liquid.
Works pretty well, but I don't think k you have any in that photo.

Almost looks like some sort of paly to me. Hard to tell, a closer/brighter pic may help.The aiptasia I've had usually sit taller on their foot.
Perhaps majano as another possible id? Some small ones look similar

Read the article on palytoxin before you mess with those. They look like some that were featured. I'm brand new, so I don't know.

Saw a few people say the other day on a FB page....that Aptasia-x wont kill anything but aptasia. I'm not clear if thats what your saying here...but thought it should be mentioned thats total utter BS and it can kill a zoanthid just as well.

Hard to tell with that photo, isn't real clear, but appear to be majano's to me. Key is to observe the tips of the tentacles, if they are bulbous at the end they are majano's.

nothing in the photograph screams aptasia to me, looks like zoa's and paly's and some green star polyps
