Aiptasia in the first one. KILL IT! and a Starfish in the second. Maybe a large mini britle starfish? Can't tell ... kinda fuzzy.

The peppermint shrimp will scavenge on almost everything in the tank. They'll eat leftover fish food, fish poop, whatever. If you don't have fish in the tank and you see the shrimp out, you can drop a few pieces of food nearby for them. If you do have fish, you don't have to feed them anything -- they'll get what they need from cleaning up after your fish.

go with the peppermints but get 3 or 4 of them as there is a 50/50 chance they will eat the aips. Feed the tanks to a minimum for a few days so they stay hungry which gives them more incentive to eat them.

True. If you feed them they will not eat those nasty things. On second thought if I had my choice between Fish steak and Aiptasia, well I'd take the steak too!

Why are aptasia bad for your tank? What will they do to it? Thanks.

they spread and can take over a tank very quickly and can also sting and kill some smaller fish and almost any coral

They can become like crab grass in your beautiful bermuda lawn. Almost impossible to get rid of if they become out of control.
