I have a candy cane frag in a coral QT tank and I've noticed three "things" on it. The one I'm pretty sure is aptasia. Below and to the left of the aptasia is something that doesn't look like part of the frag but I have no idea what it is. On the frag plug are some spheres that I'm thinking might be bubble algae? Looking for help identifying these things. The aptasia is very tiny. Is aptasia x appropriate or is there a better way to deal with such a small one?

Just remove the bubbles and fight the aptasia add a peppermint shrimp and that may help. I had some aptasia in my system at first I buried them in aptasia x then I added a peppermint shrimp and now my aptasia problem is gone oh I also had bubble algae and I removed them during water changes using a 1/4 inch tube to scrape them off anywhere the tube can reach but none of them seemed to be to much of a problem.

No one has commented on the thing that is below and to the left of the aptasia. The top photo is the best. It looks like it has tentacles.
 
Maybe that is an amano anemone also invasive?
