Whatever this is, this is the first time I've seen it in my tank. It definitely wasn't here this afternoon. Anybody know what it is and if I should be panicking?!

 

[blaxsun]

I am not entirely sure what I'm looking at. Is it moving?

 

[Jeli]

Yes and I just found these, too!

 

[blaxsun]

Moving as swaying back and forth in the flow or moving as crawling around? As for the other two, I'm going to go with aiptasia on the left and possibly a small feather duster on the right.

Thank you! Swaying back and forth and I think that's like a tube of sand in the middle. Do you recommend trying lemon juice for aiptasia or going for Aiptasia X? How quickly do I need to act--can I wait until this weekend or treat as soon as possible?

Also, I dipped this before I put it in my tank. I can't remember what the solution is called (dropped the plastic bottle and it cracked!), but it is pine and citrus oil. Does that not work on aiptasia?

Dips do not generally work on aiptasia.

It could be another small feather duster. Just keep an eye out and maybe it will emerge later. I'm not the aiptasia expert, so I don't know if what you used to dip the coral was sufficient (assuming not) or what the best treatment would be. Sooner is always better, but you probably have some time.

Thank you very much! I appreciate all your help!

Erin, where in Texas are you? I'm in Allen.
