Are these aiptasia? Pets? Good or Bad? They are growing on my rock. How should I kill them if they are bad for my aquarium?

Thanks in advance!

This is under blue Led light

This is under regular white light

Looks like green star polyps to me. Its a soft coral then can grow like weeds. Its good as long as you like it.

Omg! Thank you guys. I thought I will have to bleach/vinegar my rock lol. They looks pretty cool under blue light, not so much under regular light tho. How do you know if what you are seeing is aiptasia or not?

See in this pic how the stalk thing on the bottom is a lot longer than what you are seeing on the star polyps? The tentacles are also longer and more stringy.

from the past experiences my friend. if you google aiptasia or majano, you'll see they look quite different from gsp. moreover, gsp grow from a mat which is usually purple color.
