Aptaisia?

Fish_Boy_Wonder · Feb 6, 2019

So do aptaisia go on “walks” like other nems?
I thought this lil guy was a nudi for a good second. But after staring at it for 20min for sure a nem of some flavor just “crawling” on my glass.
Sorry best shot I can get with my phone.

Just curious if it’s a pest nem or not. I’ll try and snag a better shot when the lights go on.

The tips look to rounded for aptasia. Possibly a majano or a very small bubble tip

do they just pop up for no reason? Only reason I ask is I haven’t added anything new to this tank besides a strawberry crab and a couple hermits.
And anytime I’ve spotted aptaisia it’s usually gone in 24hrs something eats them.

Should I pop it in a cup with some holes to isolate the specimen in the tank and see what happens?

Wouldnt be a bad idea. Youd be able to get better pictures that way for a positive ID
