My chiton crawled out if his cave and sidled up to an obtrusive Aptasia. What might the Aptasia do to him? Should I get him outta there? I’m shopping for the right peppermint shrimp, but no luck. I’ll start shopping for those Aptasia-loving slugs now. I’ve got baby aptasia emerging everywhere.

And what’s this guy dead center? Doesn’t look like the Aptasia I’ve seen, but could. Eva cousin. Can you see the two little bug-looking creatures on the rocks above this guy? My tank is full of these creatures and little worms two. Are any of these a problem?

The 'bugs' are just pods. They're good guys.

The anemone just looks like an extra fancy aiptasia.

Thanks blecki—I was thinking that thing looks like Aptasia, but not like any I’ve ever seen! I’m relieved the pods are not bad guys!!!
