Is this Aiptasia?

[DelRayTank]

Came on a small Zoa colony. aiptasia? Worm?

 

[OREGONIC]

Looks like it.

 

[flyline]

Yep it does look like it

 

[flyline]

If I was you I would get it out

 

[rkpetersen]

Definitely aiptasia.

 

[DelRayTank]

Thanks. Very disappointing as it was an order from a reputable vendor. I guess that it’s impossible to have a perfect commercial system.

haven’t dealt with this issue before. I removed the frag to a QT that I’m currently running that’s not currently medicated. I presume I should reach out to the vendor. What can I expect as a reasonable resolution? Refund? Would I toss the frag typically or return?

 

[flyline]

I’m not sure they would want it back. Take a pic I’m sure they will want that. Now that it’s in qt you can try and kill it and keep it in qt for a while to make sure it doesn’t come back. They are a pain to get rid of once they spread, you did the right thing removing it it will save you a headache later

Just carefully cut off the section with the aiptasia, the rest of the frag should be fine.

If you can get to it you could superglue over it.

 

[DelRayTank]

I’m going to try supergluing over the aiptasia. However I worry about missing one. Will keep in QT for a while

I got a peppermint shrimp... took care of them in about a week

Sounds like a good idea. When I had mine I was able to remove the rock & clean out my sump that had 1 or 2
