Please help me ID whats growing in my tank. Sorry about the quality of the pics - they are pretty blurry. I left my camera on the boat and I think the salt spray has the lens yucky. I tried to clean it, but no luck.
I believe this maybe Aiptasia, but not sure (in the first pic). It is clear with white specs and the mouth is brownish colored. I noticed this one so I bought two peppermint shrimp and they never got near it the I saw. I believe my brittle star ate the shrimp because they disappeared without a trace (my first fatality). Now there are two of them. [/IMG]

The next pictures are of what I was told was zoathids when I bought them at my local LFS. I'm afraid they maybe Majanos. There were two different types of ? on the rock. One has bright green tips on a pickish-red/brown base, the other is almost the reverse with bright green base and mouths and a pinkish-red/brown tenticles. They range in size from a dime to quarter and close up in the dark.[IMG]http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/138528PB190333.JPG http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/138528PB190334.JPG
