What on earth.....

Hey everyone I was hoping you could help me figure out what I’m looking at here. I’ve noticed it popped up not to long a go and doesn’t seem to bothersome to anyone. I appreciate any help you all can forward to me. It’s located on the bottom middle right ish area.

Looks like Aiptasia. Not good

Aptasia anemone ;Meh

So they have tubules that protrude from the rock with a pink mouth and green wanted and clear feeding tentacle. Could it be Majano?

 

[LRT]

Can you get a better picture? But yes Majano/Aiptasia both equal bad.

 

[Keithb22]

Well yeah that sucks, been a long two weeks with renovations and I missed it. looks like you two were right.

I thought they usually completely rescinded back into back into the rock usually? I was able to snag the rocks out and plugem up. Incase I forgot, thank you both for the help

Simple. . . . Using a syringe, grab either lemon juice or better yet Kalkwasser powder and mix into a thin paste and inject into the center core of the aptasia and it will melt away

They are sneaky and do hide out in the cracks and hard to reach places but when they get comfortable they will come out and bask and blow up.
As Vette said you can take a syringe with lemon or kalk juice.
Just be very careful in doing that in your tank at they multiply like crazy when you handle them.
If possibly pull the rock out carefully and manually remove it and scrub spot where it was
Good luck here

Any recommendations for a good kale powder for future use? @vetteguy53081
