So I just noticed this thing in the middle of my GSP. The GSP has been in there for 3-4 weeks. What is it? Thank you

Photo is a bit difficult to tell especially with the lighting. However, can you describe it a bit? What color is it? Tan, light brown, dark brown? Almost translucent?
If the answer is yes and it looks like anything below it is Aiptasia. Take a look below and let us know.

That is another good suggestion. One of them either this or the Aiptasia.

The chemical I used to remove the Majano anemones was calcium hydroxide. It is commonly referred to as Kalk wasser, Kalk, and Pickling Lime.

I am thinking some sort of anemone. Probably Aiptasia. But a pic in white light would definitely be great for confirming what it is.

Need more white light to confirm. . . .
Can be aptasia, majano, or even GSP. Can be is an assumption

I would rule out majano. Most of the ones I have seen look similar to tiny bubble tip anemones. My guess is aptasia. How big is it? And... a better picture would help with definitive ID.

I haven't really bothered it, but I do believe it moved a little. I had to head back out again so I'll do more thorough investigation when i return home.
