I have a 29 gallon biocube. This morning I found this in one of the back chambers. Does anyone know what it is??

Is it good or bad????

I got it out of my tank...I put it in a container until I could figure out what it was. Do you think my pom pom crab dropped one of his poms? I tried to find him to see if he still had both but he is hiding.

I agree. It does look like aiptasia to me.

+1 aiptasia. If more start to show up buy a peppermint shrimp. Worked great taking care of my aiptasia problem.

If you have a pom pom crab to me it looks like one of their anemones, I have a pom pom crab and he'll frag his anemones when they get to big. the only reason why I don't say its aiptasia is because it isn't tall like it.

I do have a pom pom crab. I think that is where it came from. So, would this be ok in my tank or should I leave it out??

Its Aiptasia. Get rid of it.

Sounds to me like you're fighting against all of our aiptasia answers and you're wishing its something else. By all means go ahead and think what you want but don't ask a question and then keep searching for a different answer. In the end, that gets you no help to any future questions you may have. Just my 2 cents.
