Is this aiptasia?

[Scubafrog]

These are tiny but look like aiptasia to me. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures. Like I mentioned these are tiny and have a lot of flow on them so it is hard to get a good picture even with my DSLR. Also they kind of blend in with the yellow sponge.

Thanks!

I think so but could also be hydroids

Yep, that's aiptasia... battling it myself...

hard to tell really from the picture provided. do you see those anywhere else in the tank??

I think so but could also be hydroids

Agreed. Just as bad though.

Those are definitely aptasia Rob. I would go buy a few berghia nudibranch and alot of kalk paste. Both methods are good. I think berghia would breed like crazy in there.

Okay thanks everyone. I am able to remove the rock that they are on. Do you think if I remove the rock and pour vinegar on them that it would kill them?

take them out before they take you out.

Def aiptasia

We had a few aptasia last year. Not quite so many (maybe 4 or 5 in the display and several in our refugium). Used aptasia-x with success and added 4 peppermint shrimp to our 90 Gallon system. We never had a problem after that.
Note however one peppereshrimp did end up going after our bubble tipped anemone. We've removed him from the display and he now lives in our refugium.
They are pretty to look at too. I have heard they are hit or miss though.
Good luck!

Yeah aiptaisa I'm not a big lover of the bet this cause you put them in but are ther really there lol too small and when you stare at your tank like I do I have to see something. I got a copperbanded butterfly and he ate them all. I even take out rubble with it on there to give him a treat. He does an excellent job.
