Is this aiptasia

It’s on the bottom of a new scoly, in quarantine.

Looks like aiptaisa to me. I'd use a scaple or small flat blade screwdriver to scrap it off in some aquarium water in a bucket.

Yes it’s aptasia, I would coat it aptasia x. I find that if you scrape it off it multiplys itself like crazy. Spreading all over the tank.

Thanks Timfish.

Looks like Aiptasia to me. I would actually put a big patch of epoxy over it. Even Aiptasia-X as said above.

Gotcha. Thx!

Thanks! Will do. Would a blob of super glue work?

I would use epoxy or Aiptasia-x because it smothers and completely covers the Aiptasia. It will be hard to smother it with superglue.

I've had great success encasing them with cyanoacrylate. Seachem's Reef Glue specifically. It doesn't look pretty at first but eventually gets grown over and just blends in.

yup, I burn mine with boiling water and a syringe.

Many thanks. I gave it a shot with glue but also ordered Aiptasia-X in case it doesn't work. Appreciate everyone's help here!

 

[Bj’s Reef]

Let us know how it works out for you.

Sorry for not responding earlier. Super glue seemed to work. I also zapped some smaller ones on my hammer with Aiptasia X. Thanks everyone!

Hooowever… I’m now seeing some kind of odd cotton like growth there now. I don’t see any anemone heads though… so I don’t think it’s aiptasia. Any ideas?
