Gotcha I figured that was what it was but wanted to get a second opinion, time to work on treating it wish me luck!

 

[Kenkee]

Anyone got any experience or tips for me on getting rid of them? I see a lot of back and forth on things like peppermint shrimps or Aptasia-X by red sea that I'm not sure what to go with. Right now I have no fish in my tank, one small xenia frag off on its own rock island, and some snails. (And one small hitchhiker crab I found at the same time as the aptasia)

I would just use lemon juice in syringe if just one aptasia super easy just get it into it’s mouth

Wouldnt it starve quickly? I've only seen one aptasia and I've been looking a good bit

I'll give that a try, would any old supermarket lemon juice work?

Will do, thank you!

Many methods work, if you just see the one on a rock with no corals on it i think it is best to lift the rock out and use a torch light to just burn it, with more than one i go with kalkwasser and superglueing over the whole thing after, if it gets even worse than go peppermint shrimp or better yet berghia nudis

lemon juice in syringe has a large chance of the aiptasia just creating spores of itself and a worse problem IME
