What’s this guy on my LR

[Yates273]

While examining my LR rock I saw this white like worm with small tentacles coming out of it. Looks kind of like a very small feather duster. Can it be or is it something else

 

[Hogan]

Yep, that’s what it is. Nothing to worry about.

 

[Yates273]

Awesome thanks. Maybe you can id this other thing I found above it

 

[Reeferdood]

You will soon see plenty more too...

 

[Yates273]

Shhh. Please don’t say that. Lol. So it is then. Should I eradicate it with lemon juice or is it too small

 

[Reeferdood]

OOPS, I meant to post that in your other thread about the feather dusters.
You confused me.

 

[Yates273]

Ok so there is still hope. When I tap on my tank it retracts immediately. Maybe it to is a feather duster

 

[Reeferdood]

Well Aptasia are not sensitive to glass taps so that is a good sign for you...

 

[Yates273]

Cool. Thank you. Fingers crossed. I am so loving this. So many things going on in this tank

Not aiptasia, but rather a majano. They aren’t as invasive from what I’ve seen but I’d definitely still get rid of it.

 

[Reeferdood]

FYI, if and when you do come across any aptasia do not wait to let them grow. They must be dealt with with force, they can be a royal PITA if you don't.

Is it green or is it more clear with white balls on it? If it’s green, I’d say majano and you’d want to get ride of it. If it’s clear with white balls, it’s a ball anemone and they are fine.

He said it retracted when he tapped the glass, I think it might be something entirely different.

More clear with white tips.

 

[Reeferdood]

Ill go

More clear with white tips.

Ill go with Ball Anemone, still not 100% but that seems to look fairly close.

Ball “anemones” are pretty similar to mushroom corals, definitely moreso than an anemone. I wouldn’t expect a majano to retract from a tap on the glass, but I don’t know what else it could be.

Yeah,
the op might need to try to get a better shot for a more accurate answer..
