I've been watching these guys grow, and figured I might as well find out what they are. I'm thinking the first one is a majano?
As for the more green one??? Any thoughts??

Thanks in advance!

First one Majano for sure. The second one could be also but I can't tell for sure.

What are peoples thoughts on majanos? They don't seem too bad now...but I've never had them before. The second one looks much different...the tentacles or whatever are not the same as the majano, but I don't know if there's any variation.

Much easier to kill them now before they multiply to hundreds.

I've seen majanos in all sorts of colors with varying tentacles. Try taking a different pic or getting another opinion on the second one before killing it.

Do I just use the same stuff used to kill aptasia? Here's a better pic of the green one. Does anything majanos?

Sorry...meant to ask if anything eats majanos!

Some fish will eat them but it's hit or miss and most of them are not considered reef safe. I'd just take the rock out and manually remove them if you can.
 
I'd kill it although they are not nearly as much of a nuisance as aiptasia, in my experience. Aiptasia X kills them pretty well but manual removal is probably preferable by taking those rocks out and clipping them off, as suggested.
 
Thanks!! Any thoughts on what the other one is??
