So I have two more hitchhikers that I need help with, the first pic maily the second just to identify. The first one is of a anemone I believe since there was two and they will relocate but one has moved and disappeared. the other pic is stationary no matter what.

First picture is manjano and second is a aiptasia. Both are pest anenome and should be removed. Can you remove the rock that they are on? The best way is to take the rock out and scrape them off. They can spread very easily and quickly.

Thanks, I am able to remove the rock easily so I'll do that. But there's still one that took off on me in the middle of the night and I have no clue where it went, I've been searching for it for a couple days now hopefully it'll show it self soon.
 
Are manjano sensitive anemones? I'm just curious. The pic I posted that everyone said, that's what they were has shown no result of a manjano. Mine seem to be shy and sensitive to light and water movement. They have moved but not left the small rock they are on.
 
Manjanos are very invasive, spread fast and kill any coral they touch get rid of it if you can
 
I’ve used aptasia-x before and it works wonders. You’ll need to use a provided syringe and stop all flow in your tank while you squirt a bit of this over the aptasia. It’ll swallow it like food and die. It is not harmful to other corals. Hope this helps.
 
Aiptasia was already dealt with using peppermint shrimp, My question is the manjano I just want to be certain that's what it is, the two i have seem really sensitive and i havent seen any other s pop up, I just don't want to kill it if there's a chance it's not manjano so here's another look at it.

peppermint shrimp.....kills aiptasia and when they send out spores the shrimp have more to eat...dont recommend aiptasia x.....


Oh I know, but at the moment they took down the only one I had in the first 6hrs of putting them in. I'm just gonna pull the rock with what seems to be manjano they both came on it and have moved around but have never left the rock thankfully and it's literally the smallest rock in the tank.
