I have saved the old live rock and have it in a bucket with two peppermint. I had previously 'cooked' the rock for a few weeks and been using my wifes creme brule torch to eradicate the aiptasia. Its seems to be working really good so far as I haven't seem a single pest for a while now. There seems to be lots of good stuff worth saving on the rocks, but was just wondering what these two are and if the are good or not?

ID1 is some sort of bug
ID2 looks similar to aiptasia, but seems to have balls on the end of the testicles instead of long fingers.


First one looks like a bristle worm and the 2nd looks like a Aiptasia
