Is this aiptasia?

[offerico]

Hi I'm not sure if this is aiptasia?
It came from the seller I that I don't trust anymore and it has multiplied.
Please help me identify.

Umm no aiptasia tend to stay small largest they get is like a quarter maybe a bit bigger but not much. Plus they stay is the pink brown color ranges.

Those look like long tentacle anemone to me. What was it sold as?

Agreed with Untamedrose. I'm looking at old pictures of my 1st aiptasia sighting and they were much smaller with thinner pink bodies.

Thanks I was told it's an anemone

Did you buy one and now there's that many? I'm rolling with Aiptasia. Regular anemones don't reproduce like that. There's lots of species and I've seen some odd, non-traditional looking ones over the years.

Aiptasia :mad:

Anemones will split if they reproduce. When you see them showing up around your tank over time that's a Aiptasia.

That's so weird

 

[Lionfish Lair]

What? The look of these? They've been kind of common in my area, actually. They were hard to get rid of because of their size.

There are a lot of different types of Aiptasia, they do not all look identical to Glass Anemones.
I would be concerned if they are a pest anemone, which they appear to be. If it were my tank I would remove them.
