It looks very small, probably aiptaisa

Yup!! 100% Aiptasia! Red Sea Aiptasia-X. Kill it quick before it gives you 10000s of others.

Never heard of them.
Good, bad, or ugly ? They do move around.

Thank you , just tried to catch one with a turkey baster. Turned into a round "rock" and disappeared into my gravel.

 

[Phil D.]

VERY, VERY BAD!!! They will take over your tank and kill off all the corals.

Just looked this up, you have to inject them to administer treatment?

 

[Waffen06]

yep just did it myself tonight had a couple I noticed after the lights went off

 

[Phil D.]

Yes, injection. They include a syringe with tips. It's formulated to make the Aiptasia think it's food. Turn off your pumps and squirt a tiny bit just before putting the tip into it's mouth, it will grab the tip, then inject. It will implode shortly thereafter and dissolve.

covering them with aquarium putty worked well for me. But yes using aiptasia x is an option.

depends. Do u only have one in ur tank? If u only have one just manually remove it.

There's a very good BRS about this just watched today on YouTube. Good information..

When you see one, you have more that you don't see. If you mess with them to much, they will go into a defensive mode and start reproducing rapidly. People say they spore but not really. they will spread fast.

So do I dose the water or play the mole game ? I know they came with my original gravel last September
