Are any or all of these aiptasia there are three on a piece of rock under our brain coral but none of them look the same. Theres two in the first picture and one in the second

Looks like mojanos and aiptaisa. Both are generally considered pests.

thats what we were thinking just werent positive because they and on a small piece of rock all like a half an inch apart and they all looked different so it was confusing

The 2nd pic appears to look more like corynactis rather than aiptasia/majano. Google it and see what you think. I believe they are not considered pests like the aforementioned, some people quite like them.

I agree with Longspitt. I think that second picture is a Corynactis or even Pseudocorynactis. Some of them can be quite voracious, but the small ones are generally not a problem. It's almost like having nonphotosynthetic corals. Definitely not one of the prettier species, but cool to watch nonetheless.
