WHAT IS THIS??? Can anyone help please

[ufeelingus]

Fairly new to all of this and just need help identifying what I have going on in tank. When Spot feeding today I realized there’s another friend in the tank growing under blue light it looks green with small red circles.… I don’t know what it is but it’s growing on the rock work and around my corals should I be worried? Sorry I know pictures are not the best thanks fellow reefers in advance!

looks like some sort of mushroom or maybe even paly to me I would see what more experienced reefers have to say, its not my area of expertise

First and second picture I can't see anything. First one's too blurry and the second one is too blue.
The third picture looks like some kind of encrusting Coral but it needs to be more clear to see it's hard to see.
The last picture I see some big aptaisia, ones on the sand bed and a few on that rock. Search aptaisia and see if that's what it looks like here's a link to read.

How to Get Rid of Aiptasia

When you're first starting out your aquarium, you usually will spend all day checking on everything in your tank ensuring everything is still intact.

I don't really see what your referring to, but I do see the aptasia that could be a problem stinging other corals

This is what I first thought when I saw it I think they look really nice just want to make sure it’s nothing harmful

I know I have a huge Aptaisia problem I’m battling that now what I’m referring to is that mushroom encrusting coral. I have it circled where it’s growing from the top view on the first picture. Last pic is the same fire pic just zoomed in with no markings(circles). Hard to grab a great photo I tried numerous times again they look shroomy but theyre also encrusted

Pics aren't great, but I think I see polyps. Could it be a Montipora?

 

[ufeelingus]

here is a clearer picture don’t mind my aptaisia lol

Just searched it on google it looks exactly like that!

Where did you get the live rock?

I’m adding some berghias later this week for this problem I’ve tried aiptaisa x and they’re all back in full effect!!

I'm also seeing a few vermetid snails (sessile snails that live in tube-like shells) in the picture, which can irritate coral with their mucus and spread rapidly. Glue the openings shut to eliminate them.

What exactly is the emergency??

Ok,i see what your talking about,definitely some king of encrusting coral.Maybe a cyphastrea?

 

[Chriokid79]

Looks like it could be neon green cyphastrea to me. Also, I hate vermetid snails. They spread quickly and coral hate them. I would suggest dealing with that right away. I use the instant oceans putty stuff.
