Greetings... I am new to this hobby and this is my first post.
I have a 100 g a FOWLR that has been running for about 5 mo. I plan to add corals eventually once I get all the kinks worked out and things settle.
Several months ago I noticed a disc growing on my live rock about 0.5 cm in diameter. It did not seem to move but in the last month or two they have spread throughout my tank. They seem to spread through the water column as they do not come from a point source. They grow on the glass, rock or my silicone fake corals.They are greenish with feathery edges and some purple radial stripes leading from the center. They only grow where there is light but not too much. They have not shown up in my sump.
The other night I was peeking around with my flashlight and I saw that every disc was now a clear polyp about 2 cm tall with 6-10 tentacles. They retract quickly to their disc in the light. They don't seem like any descriptions of aiptesia I have read. They are on, not in the rock. I hope they are good as removal would involve hand picking them off every surface and there may be 100s by now. None of my fish, snails or HC seem bothered by them.
