Hi all, I’m new to this forum and this hobby,

I started a new tank (my first saltwater) about a week and a half ago with live rock and live sand. I initiated a nitrogen cycle by using part of a shrimp and allowing it to decay and have been tracking the change in parameters, everything is going smoothly so far. Today I have noticed more of an increase in very small organisms as well as an anemone looking creature that I did not previously see. I wanted a second opinion on wether or not this could be Aiptasia. It is still very very small, approximately 1-1.5mm tall. Also included photo of one of the larger organisms, I don’t know what they are either. Any advice would be appreciated.

Where did you get the materials from? Online retailer or just a person you found selling it?
 
Never know what could have tagged along on the rocks. At least your tank isn't stocked yet either way
 
Agree.^
looks like a hydroid
 
Either way remove what you can and treat the area with a kalk paste. Hopefully it's an isolated incident
