Aptasia?

[SirDukelll]

I got 2 zoa frags about a week and a half ago. I saw what appears to be aptasia but im not sure. If it is aptasia, can i physically remove it somehow?

Looks like aiptasia. Lots of options to kill them.

Manually: Aptasia X, Joes Juice, Kalk paste, F Aptasia (my personal fav) etc...
Livestock: Peppermints might eat them, Filefish, etc..

Indeed. Inject with vinegar, lemon juice, kalk slurry or boiling water.

You can try scraping them off with a sharp object, rinsing in a separate cup of tank water, then supergluing the area so they cannot return. Good luck

Looks like 3 of them. You can try all of the above. Remove the rock and pray that these are the only ones.

You could also try some berghia nudibranchs. That’s the only thing they eat! You don’t need many. Only a few for a huge infestation. They have to eat one every 24 hours or they’ll die. Check them out at Saltyunderground.com

If they are only on that rock I would remove it and slice them off really well and scrub the area with a wire brush.
