Look alot like aptasia (spelling) if so its bad. It can over run a tank and kill corals and even poison fish. Anyone else think thats what it is?

Not polyps, majano. Get rid of it quick, even if it takes getting rid of the rock you just got and question getting anything else from that lfs if they don't know what this is.

not a polyp. try aptasia x by red sea you should be able to buy it at any fish store. dont scrub it off while its in your tank. it will only replant itself to another place. aptasia x will not affect your levels too

There on a really small rock that weighed .11 pounds, but they charged me $5 extra for those guys, kinda irritating.

If you don't got aptasia x then get a laser.

So i pulled rock, its not worth the risk, thats why i stopped buying live rock and started making my own. Last time i got a baby mantis shrimp that hitch hiked its way in. It ate over $100 dollars in fish and crustations before i figured out what was going on.

Take it back tell them that its not good idea to lie and take advantage of someone. And i retract my answer its mojano not aptasia. Which is just as bad.

What kind of laser?

What else is on that rock? If nothing of value, nuke the rock in hot running tap water. Then leave out outside to dry. Then consider it dirty dry rock and rinse in lots of hot tap water. Then rinse in RODI. Then put it with the rest of your LR rubble to be reseeded. There is no telling what else is on / in that rock. Avoid that LFS in the future unless you are really careful and don't take their word for anything.

That's the worst thing I've ever heard. That store should disappear. Charging extra for aptasia is a first for me
