Aiptasia?..

[Misha]

Is this a aiptasia? It’s on the frag plug. If yes, how can I remove it?

 

[Crabs McJones]

It does look to be. Best bet would be to either A. remove the coral from the frag plug and transfer it to a brand new one, or B. scrape off as much of the aiptasia as you can and put superglue over the spot so it cannot grow back

Is this Aiptasia on the Zoa polyp??

Yes.

 

[Jayh86]

Yes.

Thank you. It’s now gone. Took out the frag and manually removed the head of the Aiptasia in a jug of tank water to isolate any spores, then glued over the base (poor Zoa). It seems fine though. Straight back in tank and opened up in less than a minute. All over in under 5 mins

It will be the best 5 minutes you ever spent on your tank!
