Is that a lovely aiptasia I see under your leather??

 

[Will Godfrey]

maybe... it's always been there and I always just thought it was a pest coral.. lol. But there are a few of those on differnt coral plugs that I have bought. what do they do?

 

[Zack K]

Yea first I would remove that anemone and any that look like it. They are a pest and have the capability of spreading like fire, not your normal everyday flame either, dry windy Arizona fire. Step 2 would be to leave the leather alone. Leathers and toadstools can close up for weeks at a time due to a few reasons, poor water quality, poor lighting, changes in flow/lighting. The most common though is the coral is shedding. This is how they become bigger. I would leave it be and make sure it is getting a fair bit amount of flow. If it starts to turn black, I would remove it from the tank as it will be decaying

 

[Will Godfrey]

ok thanks.. so it's an anemone?

 

[Will Godfrey]

any other opinions on this??

Nope. Bad guy. Look it up on the forum. Several methods of removal. I use a razor blade. Don't do it in your tank. Rinse with rodi after removal.

so your saying that what's under my toadstool is an anemone and could be harming it? because there's literally like 5 of those in my tank... one to a few in the GSP a one on 1 of my zoas.. the bullseye ones. ughh

 

[Katrina71]

Yes

They are common on frags.

 

[Zack K]

A peppermint shrimp or 2 will take care of them for you. But they can also on occasion, take a liking to LPS. Euphyillia,Plates and Acans to be specific

 

[Will Godfrey]

well I'll try.. that's gonna be really difficult.. omggggg

 

[Will Godfrey]
