Is it Aiptasia?

[ggwp1111]

Found this tiny little guy this morning. I know it's hard to see but I couldn't get a clear shot of it. This rock has been dried in the sun without seeing water for weeks so I don't think it was from the rock. I don't know how it got in the tank. But it's the only one as far as I could see.

Is it Aiptasia?

Should I get a pepper shrimp? I already 2 cleaner shrimps in the tank if that matters.

Or Aiptasia eating fishes?

Or should I physically remove it?

Yup, it is. Peppermint shrimp might get it. I use a syringe with about .4mil of distilled white vinegar. Inject right in the center if you can get at it. Shrivels right up. Problem with trying to physically remove it, could cause it to spread.

Yup that's aptasia. You can either get it off the rock by blowing it away and grabbing it when it lets go or get something that'll eat it all. Was even reading about a guy who covered them in reef glue than chipped them off the rock but that's not verified

Put a expoxy puddy cap on that and cover.
