I Have 2 that I know for sure and I'm gonna shoot em up today hopefully.

But I noticed on the other side of the tank I have a rock that is covered from head to toe with these little tube things... Is this baby aptasia?

Hard to tell exactly from pic but I would say no. I have never seen aiptasia with textured base. Can you get a better pic?
 
Took some more pics my camera sucks but i circled what im talking about.
they are hollow tubes with hand like things around the end of the tubes..

you know how xenia had the hands that open and close, the hands look kinda like that.

they look like pest something , they are ugly, looks like slugs with fingers .. lol

Yep, I googled some pics and that is what they are!

thanks for your help!
No problem,they will come and go throughout the tanks life depending on the water quality.When I was overfeeding my clowns to help with breeding some of my q tips got to about 1/2-3/4",Now there all gone
