Aptasia

[rubertoe93]

Morning/afternoon/evening everyone !
introduced some soft coral yesterday, there doing great!
however I have noticed a aptasia this morning,
With the tank only being 10 days old, would my best bet be a form of aptasia x or a peppermint shrimp?

Can you remove the rock? If so hold a lighter to it. If not kalkwasser injected into the mouth works.

It’s on the sand bed, would I get away with just taking it out? Or will the movement of me doing so, just make it release spores

If it is a single and you are able to remove whatever it is on I would recommend it.

It’s a tiny one, but yeah I was thinking just scoop it out, before it spreads

Turn off flow before trying to scoop it up. If there is one there is likely more

Yeah it’s attached to the rock so couldn’t get it out as easily as I thought, getting some treatment for it today thanks for you help
