Yep its aptasia lucky you LOL

Thanks for help guys. Iv got aiptasia in there already and thought it was something else because it looked slightly different from the others.

Get a syringe and some pure lemon juice, inject it at the base and it'll be gone.

Yes, that is aiptasia. Peppermint shrimp are good to control outbreaks.

Aiptasia X works but you will need to get a turkey baster to suck the remainings of the Aiptasia out. This is also what I use. Like someone earlier posted. Peppermint shrimp control Aiptasia if you cant get them under control. Wouldnt put any peppermint shrimp in if you have any fish that may harm them. Hope this helps and Good Luck.

I usually get a coperband
But the problem is that once in a while the will nibble on other softies. Other times the never learn to eat frozen foods and die.

But if you're lucky you get a cool looking fish and no aptasia

Redsea aiptasia x works great . If they get out of control peppermint shrimp have worked for me. I am not sure that this may be an anemone.

Go with the shrimp if you can. My previous experiences with aiptasia x is that it worked most of the time and then a few times they would come right back

Whenever I see any Aiptasias in my tanks, I inject TM Elimi-Aiptas directly into the stalk as opposed to into the mouth. I find that the product has a better kill rate when injected into the stalk.
