Surprise Anemone hitchiker

[RayAllen]

Ive been adding corals the last several days from others aquariums so its expected to find little critters. A little clear anemone has poped up. From what ive seen and read Aiptasia is usually greenish brown in color. This anemone is very small and clear to slight white in color. Anyone know what it is. Sorry i cant get a picture of it at all.

Do a Google image search for Aiptasia and see if anything looks like what you have.

[RayAllen]

From all the searches I did on Aiptasia is looks nothing like in besides being a anemone. I just popped up 2 days ago near some shrooms I have.

Maybe a majano(sp?) anemone. I'm not sure but a peppermnt might eat those.

[JimD]

Is it co-habitating with the shrooms or do the shrooms seem to be irritated by its presence.

[RayAllen]

Well after doing a more thourough search I found a couple of pics of Aiptasia that look clear like the one I have so that may be the culprit. Its the only one I see now I have to kill it!

[RayAllen]

I moved the shrooms away from it as soon as I saw it.

[tony]

the aptaisia i had sounds exactly what you are describing

[JimD]

Yep, Aiptasia comes in many different flavors.

[RayAllen]

I dont have a syringe to kill this thing. What the easiest most effective way?

[RayAllen]

Ordering Joes Juice ive heard good things about it.

[JimD]

Sraight up liquid calcium works better...

[mathias]

I think when aiptasia doesn't get any light or very low light thats when it has a clear color...

Blue Life Aptasia Control, one drop will do it $7.99

[RayAllen]

When in doubt, quarantine it or kill it before it's too late.
