I kind of think I know what they are but I would like some confirmation please...

first one is something weird growing by my rose bubble tip, feels like/ looks like some type of macroalgae? i have two tangs how in the world have they not gobbled that sucker? is it toxic??

second one, i have had this anemone for years and was sold to me as a sebae but i have always questioned that, now seemingly bubbles are developing? bubble tip?

third one- ? lemnalia?

fourth- some sort of weird hitchhiker mushroom?

fifth- acan lord or echinata? i don't think its a blastomussa. i know its hard too tell

- sorry guys for the cruddy pictures, my cam sucks


thanks!!

The red macro that i had looked similar to that it would grow about baseball size an than the leaves would just all fall off than than 4 months later it comes back. I thought it was a beautiful and display tank worthy. Sorry no ID

never had anemones so I can not help you there.
The second looks like a finger leather. What color is it ?

Nice shroom!

Def not blastos!
Most likely acans!

thanks!! the coral is fleshy pink colored and sometimes has fluorescent green tinge on the mid inner trunk (if that makes any sense!!)

so was your macroalgae a hitchhiker too then??

I think the leather you have is the same as mine. Before it has time to expand it's polyps in the morning it has a greenish blue irredescents to it after it expands more of a pink/tan hue. I was told mine was a green finger leather.

The "finger leather" looks more like Nephthea IMO

3 looks like a finger leather, 4 looks like a plate coral, and 5 is acan.
