I don’t think aiptasia. But I don’t know what it is. Maybe hydroid?

If this helps.

Weird

Someone will id this, I’m curious. @WheatToast always jumps in with correct id on weird stuff but I haven’t seen him/her on the forum in almost a year. I hope @WheatToast is all right.

Yes, me neither, since other IDs I'm unsure where they have gone.
Im always knocking on reef2reef community doors

I have a tuxedo urchin that's constantly grabbing stuff.. it might of contributed to spreading, it's a weird one

If it's not aiptasia

Looks to be aiptasia and I’d treat it as such.

Looks like aiptasia to me. Babies at the moment.

It's really hard to tell, maybe you can post more pictures...

It's probably a hydroid / jelly. Not photosynthetic.

Looks like colonial hydroids, not aiptasia.

Thank god, I thought something bad happened to you or worse, that you have a life outside of reefing. Glad you’re back on R2R!
