id on a few of them please :)

1. Palys (Palythoa)
2. Aiptasia- Zap this guy!
I'm not sure on 3 though and #4 isn't showing up for me. Hope this helps!
 
I would also get rid of those nasty brown paly's in #1. Take the rock out and scrub them off. I had those nasty things once and they grow faster than anything else I've ever seen and can take over. They are the paly equivalent of a nasty honeybager !!

Yes, scrub #1 they can and will take over and #2 is a pest nem but
I don't think scrubbing those ones will work. I usually take the rock out and use my bone cutters works every time.
 
I just got rid of #3 from my tank.. Used some kalkwasser mixed up into a paste, sucked it up in a syringe and sprayed it on the aiptasia. I have not seen any aiptasia since. A little bit did get on my eagle eye zoas. A part of the zoas that is usually brown turned yellow in places where clumps of the mixture landed.
 
Thanks everyone for the inputs

How do I go about killing that aiptasia. ?? I have like 9 or 10 of them and would one peppermint shrimp est em all ??

Also 1. And 3 are not same ???

Nope, 1 & 3 are not the same. I can't really tell what 3 is. can you get a clearer pic?
Some peppermints will and some will not.
 
Peppermint shrimp are hit or miss. Most have had good luck with products like Aiptasia X or Joes Juice (which is just kalk paste)

If you do decide to scuba the palys off remember to use protection! Palys can be extremely toxic. Use gloves and avoid contact with any of the slime they produce. If you can kalk paste the palys that would probably be safer.
