Need help to identify these things on my live rocks

[Clownfishmom25]

Hello everyone! I am wondering what is this slimy green growing on my live rocks? Is it good or bad? How can I remove it? And I have some white stuffs growing on my purple live rocks as well? And the other pic is that a feather duster? I just saw it growing on one of my rocks is it good to have or bad??

That is aiptasia not a feather duster. You will want to get rid of it or your tank will have a explosion of them.

Research how to though as if they are scared then will release spores, those spores grow into more of those evil critters. I used putty to seal the hole to stop them from coming back out.

Using a syringe, inject either lemon juice OR Better yet, kalkwasser powder mixed with ro water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste into the CENTER core of the aptasia and watch it melt

aptasia x works good as well

Do I need to take out the whole rock it is attached to?

So use it with syringes and inject and it will disappear?

I've had the best luck with f-aptasia.

no. Not only does the syringe get into their center core BUT it also reaches hard to get places. this method works as long as you get it in the very center core

This is Aiptasia

F-Aiptasia is good, don't use Aiptasia X.

H202 or Lemon juice also works but not 100% may take a few tries.

If you have a synringe you can inject it directly into the body of the coral.

Can't see but looks like green cyano.

Oh and little bubble algae on the tip.

That is a Sponge and friendly.

and this is the same photo. but boy are those zoa's stretching for light.
