Hopefully this isn’t bad?

I don’t know for sure what this is or how it got in my tank.

 

[Ricksreeefs]

Aiptasia and no not a good thing it’s an pest nem that will multiply and sting other corals.

 

[NashobaTek]

+1 aptaisia. Bad to have.

 

[reeferericb]

That’s what I was afraid of. What corals do aiptasia bother? Best way to get rid of the aiptasia?

 

[Ro Bow]

get aiptasia x. It works

 

[TnFishwater98]

You can try a peppermint shrimp

 

[Ro Bow]

be careful, if the aiptasia x touches coral, it could irritate them. More sensitive could get wounded

 

[TnFishwater98]

You can try a peppermint shrimp

Or Aiptasia eating filefish, Berghia Nubibranch

 

[Ro Bow]

yeah but aiptasia eating filefish could eat other corals.

 

[TnFishwater98]

Looks like a fairly new tank..Can you take the LR out?

 

[NashobaTek]

If you can take the rock out, super glue the entire aptaisia. Cover it completely, or remove it from the rock and cover the area it was in completely with super glue.

 

[encrustingacro]

get aiptasia x. It works

Don't use aiptasia x. Use F Aiptasia or berghia nudibranchs.

I’m leaning towards the Burghia nudibranchs at the moment. They are sold close to me and are kept in a fishless environment, so I shouldn’t have to worry about fish diseases coming in with them. My biggest hangup is with cost. I think it’s going to be $80+ to get a handful for my tank (6-8 or so), that seems expensive for what they are. If it wipes out the problem though it’s probably worth every penny.
