definitely looks like it from the picture, is it hard to take that rock out?

I just boil some water on the stove and then squirt them directly with it (careful not to hit curious fish or corals).. then I pull back on the syringe and suck the melted guts out. Works like a charm if it's in a spot you can reach.

How big is your tank?
I got a copperband butterfly and it ate all my aiptasia and majano in my reservoirs.
Best addition I ever made to my system.

Disagree. If you have one you have 10 you can't see. Don't waste your time.

5 gallon tank, a little over 4 months. No fish, just some lps, softies, and 3 snails. I have a few cherished acans. Thanks for the tips everyone! Considering either hot water technique or aiptasia-x. Thoughts?

Only 5 gal, so no fish

How does the kalk paste work?

I think i've spotted another small one growing off the back of an acan's rock across the tank. Hope I don't find too many more...

I can pull the smaller rock out, with the clove on it. Thoughts?

You said the word, it must be true now :/. The first step is to accept it I guess!

ok if poss just remove manually ,by chisel make sure you get all of body and foot,
kalk paste ,is powdered kalk,dkh buffer,soda ash,pickling lime,mixed to a useable paste w syringe,sw or ro water ,just cover them with it ,they will melt away,careful not to be too generous with only 5 gal
well i already wrote this...then seen latest pic, scope out exactly where they are at ,take rock out manually remove
