so someone please tell me what these things are...there are 2 different looking types but fairly similar...the person i bought the live rock from said they're polyps...then i read more and i think they're aiptasia...i know the little brown one for sure is aiptasia...but not sure if these other ones are really polyps...if these reallly aren't polyps...i feel like such an idiot to really try to keep them alive...

the ones on the right are not aptasia, i think they are button polyps

kill the aiptasia, i like joe's juice, but other methods work.

the others are button polyps, they may turn a nice green color under enough light.

I agree with the button polyps and the aptasia but to add in the bottom picture to the right you also have majano anemone too that you might want to give a squirt with JJ.
