Need Help!!! Never seen this before

[markfish194]

Need help, I have this "thing" for a while, and I found this grow so fast, not sure if it is algae or something else. If anyone could tell what it is, and how to control them? Thanks,

I have a bad feeling those are aptasia. But are they stinging your coral? If they are then it's most likely the annoying and hard to remove aptasia. My other guess is the yellow polyp. they look almost identical to what you have. I have no idea how to remove them but let me know if you find a way!

Look up pictures of aiptasia.

I thought it might be Aiptasia, but I tried to shoot them with the hot water, and didn't work at all. Then, I jus pull some of them with my bare hand, and it feels like some algea.

Whoops, my mistake.

sorry for scaring you. To remove yellow polyps you can use aptasia x and kalk paste, I even heard lemon juice will work!

Definitly hydroids. I don't its these ones. And I really have no idea how to fight them. I had a coral beauty angelfish take care of colonial and digitate hydroids before. Not sure about this situation other than manual removal.

Im not sure how some of you think these are yellow polyps. They are not.

@ISpeakForTheSeas might have a better species id.

It is cool, new to this forum, and got lots of useful knowledge, happy to hear you

Perhaps, I don't know, because they are very similar?

they both look very similar. I never heard of these.

He has great detail on the stem structure. Not microscopic. But clear stems and branching polyps.

Vs yellow palythoa.

It may indeed be hydroids, but acting like it's crazy to mis-ID them or mix them up is nonsense.

Ok, I'm seeing it.

Getting a bit irrational are we? You people are sensitive.

Theyre yellow polyps and can run wild. I like them but wow- this is an infestation. They are related to zoa and when Fed- Will Spread.
Getting rid of them can be an issue as you will address them head by head, but if you can break rock into pieces, you can sell them as colonies
EDIT- AFTER LOOKING ON MY pc VERSUS PHONE, NO DOUBT HYDROIDS
