This was on a piece of live rock we got from a LFS yesterday. We put it in the tank & now it has opened up and looks like a zoa but I can't get a picture of it. Hopefully it isn't bad because we also woke up to apatasia on another rock

Looks like zoas.

Definitely a zoa or paly polyp of some kind. Awesome hitch hiker!

Awesome thanks. We undoubtedly have apstasia, though, unfortunately [emoji30]

For aiptasia I would try peppermint shrimp or berghia nudis. There is also aiptasia x but I personally prefer the predatory approach.

The trick is to catch it early before it takes over. And it takes over quickly.

My husband was so excited this morning. He woke me up and told me to come look. I walked up to the tank, took one look at it, and said "uh that's apstasia". It is pretty looking though lol
