Not sure what is or if it is bad. Please enlighten me. Here is a picture. It shows the coral in need of ID, mainly if it is bad or okay. Thanks for any information.

From that pic it looks like a little baby bubbletip anemone.

Maybe those will help.
It does look like an anemone...but I can't say for certain.

Long-thin tentacled one(s) in the pic aiptasia.
The thick-based, bulb-tipped ones are manjano.
The other polyps appear to be green star polyps (extending from the buds of the purple matting).

So the label of majano is correct? Darn, I actually liked the look of them.
As soon as my Aiptasia X gets here, I'll start killing them off.

There is also a species of encrusting Gorgonian that grows just like green star polyps. It's hard to tell from the picture, but that is also a possibility for you.

I know that I have green star polyps; I was just hoping the item I have labeled as majano in the last picture wasn't majano, because they actually look cool.
