Thread: Rock Anemone

  1. #1

    Default Rock Anemone

    I found a rock anemone in my main tank and scraped the rock to get the whole thing. Im wondering if it would be alright in the fuge or just toss it? Thanks

    This was not a flower anemone, but more like aptasia. I was told by someone here they wont hurt anything but will reproduce quick. I threw it in the fuge ... easier to control.

    Watch that rock closely. Little ones will regrow from where the foot was if you left even a single cell.
    You definitely don't want aiptasia in your system if you can help it. Scraping them off a rock is extremely likely to produce little lacerations and it had a chance to do that in your fuge. They will float through the tank, get blown out the pumps and there will be more of them. Next time take the whole rock out and kill all the cells in place, don't scrape it.
