I recently found some new creatures in my live rock that I have not been able to identify and was hoping someone could help. Thank you in advance!!

The first one looks like majano. Maybe google a pic and see for your own thoughts on it. If it is majano you'll wanna kill that too

Though I agree the first two are glass anemone...the last picture I see clove polyps.

Thank you all for your responses!! I will definitely look into the first one and the third one a bit more before taking action on those. Does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to kill aiptasia? The ones I have are still very small and I don't have any fish or anything in my tank yet

inject it with lemon juice or an aiptasia killing product.

Third looks like xenia


Fish are friends not food!

Aiptasia-X is absolutely amazing! I recommend it!

third pic could be xenia or clove polyps, agreed. Really need a better photograph to tell though.

2 and 3 aren't aiptasia, they have smaller extensions on each "finger" which is indicative of xenia or cloves.

I agree with dingus, 2 and 3 are either cloves or a type of Xenia/anthelia
