[duke62]

dont have a camera that takes micro shots but this is the best description i can give.there are about 15 of these things growing on a piece of liverock.there the size of a small aiptasia with the same body type and tentacles.the only thing is they are blood red.any idea what they can be

could be like a christmass worm or something they are often bright colors like red and blue. I have a bright blue one. Could also be due to your lighting spectrum..you do have leds. Some aiptasias are actually pretty.

You might have hydroids ... from your description it could be so.

have a look at http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/anemones/hydroids1.jpg/view (picture below)

If you could get photographs or a video it would help us to help you, especially if those are Hydroids ... because if they are, then action might have to be taken and identification is paramount to determine which action to take.
