Need help on some ID's

[Wieloch89]

first this is all over my tank and I'm not sure what it is but it's nothing that I added and is probably bad because that's how it works right? Lol And then a couple zoa ID's

The last pic might be Utter Chaos if you can get a better picture it would help.
Did the rock come from someone still wet? It kind of looks like baby galaxy, but I really doubt that is what it is. I've never seen green corynactis, but it exists. Hidden cup coral, but is there a calcium skeleton to it? Doesn't really look like mojano anemones either.

The other zoas, ah..not everything has a name, but I am not a zoo expert.

I first noticed it on the back of my glass in two spots. Maybe 1/4"-3/8" is all the bigger they've gotten. Noticed one on a rock today and started to look closer and I counted maybe 15 spread out. Looks like a mouth, and green tip tentacles. I thought some sort of pest nem but idk. No calcium base, at least not that I can tell. Haven't tried taking them off the glass or rocks, some things spread that way and until I know what it is I'll leave it alone lol.

Pics 1 & 2, green corynactis (ball-tip anemones). Pic 4, featherdusters (harmless filter-feeders) on a zoa rock. Is that a baby mithrax crab on the bottom left corner?

 

[JaimeAdams]

With them appearing on the glass, I am going to have to think type of anemone corynactis or mojano. Baby corals would be possible in a mature tank, but not one new like yours. If the rock was kept wet when you moved it I could see that one the rock work, but on the glass is super suspect.

Thanks! Not a crab and I was hoping for the name of the zoas with the feather dusters.

Yea all of my rock was dried and cured in garbage cans before it went into the tank. I have added 3 pieces of live rock from other peoples systems, I know terrible idea, but I wanted the coral and anemone lol. Next question, is it problem, how do I get rid of it?

 

[Wieloch89]

Copper band butterfly? Or does that just go for aiptasia.

 

[JaimeAdams]

Super glue gel encapsulating the anemone is a good bet

So I stumbled across a little whitish/ clear starfish looking thing on my glass and started googling. From what the little green jerks look like and from what the things on my glass look like, I think I have colonial hydroids

 

[Wieloch89]

I assume no miracle cure other than removing rock or super glue?

 

[Wieloch89]

This looks kind of like where it all may have started... how do I get the nem out of the rock to remove it.

 

[Wieloch89]

Just busted open the rock, took out the nem, and hoping for the best. Anyway, busted the rock open and found a ton of brittle stars, a couple asterina, and this krill looking thing. Any idea what that is. The black thing floating on top of the water.

 

[JaimeAdams]

amphipod, good thing.

 

[Wieloch89]

Awesome. What about the hydroids... I've been reading really really bad things lol

 

[kireek]

The first picture may be ball anemones.I am not sure on the zoanthids or what to do about the hydroids.

That's what I was leaning towards too but I think they're hydroids. From reading that I've been doing and the pictures that I've come across i have an issue on my hands. Seems the neon green ones aren't common but they exist...
