Aptasia. Kill it using aptasiaX from red Sea. These are the worst pests

kill it for sure! left one in my tank now I have lots of babies. I know this is 100% not related to this thread, but do you have an achilles tang? just asking cause of your profile pic. im looking at getting one and wondering about care and aggression.

I've had Achilles tangs before. Never had an issue. Acts just like all other tangs.

thanks! what size tank did you have it in?

I keep tangs in small tanks and never have issues as long as you move them out when they grow up. The Achilles was in a 500 from the start with many other tangs. It's literally just a tang lol.

I keep two tangs a yellow and a kole in my 66 gallon reef tank and they are best buds. 180 is definitely not too small. It would probably be 5 years before he outgrew a 180 depending on starting size. Note both of my tangs in the 66 are aquacultured and we're very small 1 inch to begain with and have never been in the ocean.

no, its an apstatia. they can, im my experience, be almost dormant until conditions are right, they they can sprout out of nowhere. I would remove the rock and kill it with apstatia X. it can probably sting your leather

 

[AquaRaider44]

Definitely kill it. Just google aptasiaX.
