Aiptasia. They are not your friend. Kill them.

 

[ajwalker261985]

Why what's wrong with them? How would I kill them?

They can sting corals and they can spread quickly and take over your tank.theres many different products on the market that kills them.i like the majono wand myself.it zaps them lol.whenever you see one be sure to try and get rid of it

They are considered a pest Anemone. They multiply like rabbits, and are capable of stinging other corals.

+1 on peppermint shrimp. If you aren't already overrun by them, a few peppermints will take care of the pests.

Nasty Critters.... I agree with above peppermint shrimp. Get them ASAP. They get in everything, return lines, overflow, canister filter etc. Pretty much anywhere you have water best of luck to you

 

[ajwalker261985]

I used lemon juice and I think I got most of the little b******ds! The rest ill pick off tomorrow or the next day! Thanks guys.
