ID question

[DMac]

Just set up my first saltwater tank! My new rig is a 34 gallon solana with a kessil ocean blue a150-w light. The last owner removed the skimmer and went with a carbon bag. I'm in the first week of its cycle process and I have a few inhabitants that have appeared since putting in the live rock. I'm stoked to see some life but are they on death row? One is a hermit and the other is a coral of some kind. Do you think they will make it to the end? Is there anything I can do to better their chances?

Here is a photo of my rig. I'm planning to add another 20 lbs of live rock soon.

Here is the coral. Can anyone help me ID?

I don't see it...if you're talking about the blur in the middle then maybe its a feather duster (worm not a coral)

Thanks biologicalme and dbone for the response. I know the picture sucked but I think it is a aptasia after a quick google... Looks like Ill have to wait until I can add a peppermint shrimp into the mix.

I'd take out that rock and roast the aiptasia over open flame like it was christmas, and then you can rinse it out and stick it back in..

the aip isn't something you want in the tank.

Thanks Jeff! Not going to turn down getting out the blow torch for the over kill effect:target:
