Bristleworm?

[echo53775]

I think I see brittle starfish, maybe bristleworm. Do you guys seem any pests? Also, does anyone know what is the spikey thing in the last screenshot? Thanks.

Pic 1: brittle star = good CUC member

Pic 2: bristleworm = good CUC member, but DONT TOUCH

Pic3: Aiptasia anemone: The devil himself made these things. Kill any you see by injecting lemon juice with a needle or buy some aiptasia-X. Don’t try to physically remove it. It will release its eggs/sperm and spread more.

Would aiptasia be this small about 1/16 of an inch and on Chaeto and not attached to glass/rocks?

I have had small ones in my chaeto. Many live in my overflows and make their way down to the fuge area from there.

EDIT : couldn't view the videos. Need to upload to youtube and paste a link here so people don't have download them to view them

Here's a link to the video.

Definitely aiptasia. Actually it’s good that it’s on the chaeto because you can just throw that piece in the trash.

Thanks, everyone. I guess I'll hope that I don't get any in my display tank. I did throw it out but this was the second time that I got Chaeto from the same seller and the first batch made it into my display. I did a RODI water dip/ coral dip/ peroxide dip and multiple washing/ thorough inspection so I guess I'll hope for the best.
