The bottom picture leads me to believe they are just harmless polyps. Aptasia looks sort of similar but I cant tell from the picture. Aptasia generally have a different color on the very tip; indicating it can sting just as you see on the very tip of a BTA or other anemones.

Edit: If these are as brown as the bottom pic looks I would doubt they are Aptasia, my Aptasia are more translucent pink with tiny white splotches and feint white tips.

Good or bad??? I have a few too.

They don't seem to bother anything.

So hydroids is The final answer?

 

[ralph atl]

[jennm]

Yes, hydroids. Yes, bad.

 

[tbryan]

ok removal methods then? ive got some aptasiaX.

Edit: both rocks can be removed easily if there is a less chemical treatment

 

[jennm]

That should work - either way.
