Aiptasia?

[ctopherl]

Is this aiptasia? Or some sort of sponge type deal? I’ve had this bubble for at least a couple months now and haven’t added a coral in at least a month, and I don’t see them elsewhere in the tank. All corals have been dipped in brightwell koralmd before adding.

Yep.

Ive heard breaking it off can cause it to spread. Any reason I can’t just take the coral out, dip it in some saltwater in a separate container and rip it off in that container? Then obviously put the coral back and empty the container and bleach it or whatever.

Either have an aiptasia infested tank, or get rid of that coral. Your choice.

Red Sea Aiptasia-X, seals the mouth and prevents spread

People claim using aiptasia X will only cause leftover bits to cause a zombie apocalypse in your tank.

I had one hitchhiker on a frag, used AX...haven't had once since.

Aiptasia X works great. Just have to be careful around the corals.
Something like that I would cut off in a small container with salt water, do a hydrogen peroxide dip and put it back in.

That does work I used adaptasia x then peroxide in separate container

Using a syringe, mix kalkwasser powder with water and form a paste like solution and inject into the center core of the aptasia and watch it melt away
