Aiptasia?

[Corey Shelk]

i just noticed this on my live rock after a rescape. Is this the dread aiptasia? And if so how do I get rid of it?

Yes to Aiptasia. If you have a syringe you can inject it with lemon juice or kalkwasser, otherwise you can just pick it off (be careful to not let any pieces break off) and cover where it was with epoxy or superglue

I'll pick it off and cover it with superglue, thank you!

I wouldn't scrape it off in the tank. If you can, try to remove the rock and remove it. Doing so in a tank could cause an outbreak.

I will, thank you!

Side note, wear gloves of some kind. When i broke down the last tank and moved some rocks over, something got me right in the finger... swelled up and was fun for a couple of days.

Besides that, good advice from previous posters.

Will do! Thanks
