Help Needed To Identify.....
The green growths in the photo and videos. They start of like tiny dots (like a crown a king or queen would wear), then very slowly get bigger. Any thoughts or ID of what this is? I do not have any coral that resembles them. If not good, any tips to get rid of it if it? Thank you in advance

Pics under white lights and need a better close up. It’s just blurry and blue. Could be clove polyps, gsp, galaxea, the pics are not good enough to tell.

The thing circled in the 1st pic looks like aiptasia...

Or some kind of Ball anemone?

Not to me

Do you have clearer pictures? What is the collection locality of your live rock? Do you have any Pocillopora or any other SPS that could have bailed out?

Definitely not gsp or clove polyps, as those don't have any acrospheres, while this coral does. Doesn't look like Galaxea either; those have tentacles in two concentric orders while this coral clearly has only one set. Depending on the collection locality, it could be a West-Atlantic stony coral.

Judging by the fluorescence, I would think it's not Aiptasia (Exaiptasia diaphana), but another similar anemone.

Ball anemones have large, visible acrospheres.

When I Google'd ball anenome, the pics are quite spot on. Thank you!

If the larger colony looks a lot like a ball anemone, I’d bet it actually has a stony skeleton and is a type of Oculina coral like

Oculina patagonica​
