dont tell me its aiptasia hydroids?

 

[Widdy]

They both are in the cnidarian catagory. Hydroid more related to jellyfish in the Medusozoa class, and aiptasia to anemones in the Anthozoa class.

Hydroids sting but I don't think they hurt fish much. They are really bad for dwarf sea horses. You should be able to google it to get info. They will probably dissappear on their own in a week or two.

So I shouldn't worry about them i'n my reef?

Hydrozoan (Staurocladia oahuensis)

They are fine and a natural progression of the tank. This is a good sign.
