Got a hitch hiker anemone

[Ernieaz1]

So this little anem came in on my seaweed for the refugium. No clue what it is (a condy maybe) looks brown in regular light glows red in blue light. Really just no clue. Very long tentacles.

aiptasia?

aiptasia?

Not thinking so.... but maybe. If I put it in my tank after quarantine the peppermint shrimp will let me know for sure... its foot is almost an inch long.... tentacles about an inch and a half

If that's the experiment you want to run, maybe put the peppermint shrimp into the QT rather than risk aiptasia in the DT.

apitasia, reassurance is provided

That's an aiptasia. You may not believe it, but they can get over two inches across if left alone to grow! Flush it now, I wouldn't take the chance putting it in the tank.

I tossed it out. Didnt want to risk it
