Aptasia, pest anemone. Many ways to get rid of them. I prefer removing the rock from the tank whenever possible to avoid them from spreading.

Here is a picture of the rock. I won't be taking it out. But thanks i think i have some stuff for it.

Pull/scrape it out manually and superglue the spot he was on. I had one also and haven’t seen it since!

Definitely kill it though.

Or buy a peppermint shrimp, they love aptasia.

I wouldn’t scrape or pull it...it’ll release clones all over the tank. I have used super glue in a pinch. If possible put a dab of super glue gel on your finger and then apply it over the Aiptasia. These things are the devil. They reproduce sexually and asexually and can overtake a take in short order.

I have a few that I am saving for Aiptasia X which should be in on Tuesday. Never tried it before!
