What are these guys. They seem to be multiplying but not getting any bigger. They are pretty small. These have been here quite a few months. There is also a bristle worm (have LOTS of those)
Thanks

Not Aptasia. Looks to me like a species of hydroids. Arrow crabs can help you take care of the small bristle worm. You’ll still want to remove big bristleworms as you see them.
 
Small featherdusters, harmless filter feeders. They tend to thrive in systems with a lot of particulates floating around. Food, detritus, etc.
