[JaimeAdams]

Not feather dusters. Look more like Aptasia

 

[lewis.maryann08]

Do they need to go

Do they need to go

Yes, they need to go.

Make some kalkpaste from kalkwasser and inject them with a syringe, do it when the open like in the pic.
After you inject them they will close up and burn.
Keep your eyes out for more in the next few weeks.

When you do that, do you inject into the mouth? or just a side?
Also, can they release their spores when "treated" that way?

In or on their mouth.
Yes they do release spores if moved, pinched, scraped, poked or touched.

I just got some peppermint shrimp to try...

Only peppers from the wild will go after it.
Tank bred is in most cases a miss

we shall see-they were eating at the lfs, got rid of theirs in a 240.

They are Aptasia and they need to go before they get out of hand
