Hitchhikers on Gulf Live Rock???

[TheDentist]

About 20 pounds of live rock arrived at my door today to seed my new 50 gal reef. Lots of goodies attached! I put everything in a quarentine tank and took pictures right away so I know everything is angry (and blurry)in the photos...the questions; what are they and which ones are dead for good and what can I do to bring them back if they are alive??? ID please! Thanks

Photo #3 looks like a completely dead coral on the top right, probably an euphyllia.
Photo #6 is a sponge, will probably survive for the time being, assuming there is plenty of silicates in the water with it being a new tank and all.

I ordered from GLR and had a lot of the same stuff you have.
The bivalve there in #4 will be tough to keep alive, but if you want to make sure you keep an eye on ammonia and nitrite, etc.
The yellow sponge #6 is still alive 6 months later.
Looks like a fish skeleton fused with the rock in #3

#1 Cladocora arbuscula might still be alive
#2 and #5 Siderastria radians or Favia fragum look dead
#3 Manicina Caribbean Rose Coral also dead

#1 Cladocora arbuscula might still be alive
#2 and #5 Siderastria radians or Favia fragum look dead
#3 Manicina Caribbean Rose Coral also dead

Is there anything I should be adding to help the Cladocora recover? Or maybe any of the other corals if there are any surviving cells (I know its unlikely)

Found some more hitchhikers! One brain coral that looks like it has little polyps (yaaassss!) Also another rose coral....any chance it will come back to life or is it a gonner???? And lastly, not sure what that is...ID???

The third picture looks like aiptasia and sponge.

For the last picture Im asking about the animal with tenticals, not the yellow sponge. Aiptasia??? Something else??? Thanks!

The third picture looks like aiptasia and sponge.

I thought so! Thanks!

It looks like aiptasia to me in the third picture. Very invasive

Man you landed some bonus on those rocks. Keep an eye out for other nasties like crabs.

First pic is a goniopora maybe?

Nope wrong ocean, not even a possibility

Nope wrong ocean, not even a possibility

Ah, I see

 

[TheDentist]

Found something...Can aptasia have orange dots on it like this or is this something else?

 

[Lovemyreef2015]

Yes, I would still say aiptasia.
