It's going to get in one way or another eventually, though always good to delay that as long as possibleaiptasia is no joke. Don’t want to add that to you tank.

Definitely a very........ biodiverse... frag...
It's aptaisia
Nevermind, I see the arms, thought that was sponge at first.Definitely a very........ biodiverse... frag...
Though I don't see any obvious aiptasia
Do the bhergia nudibranchs really a waste?Nevermind, I see the arms, thought that was sponge at first.
Yeah, lemon juice is your best bet, aiptasia F/X is too risky to any coral left on that skeleton and bhergia nudibranchs would be a huge waste of money. Though there are probably more than one aiptasia on that skeleton so if you have a coral observation/QT setup then I'd wait awhile before adding it to any sort of display.
For one frag it's not a cost effective way of elimination, if they have other aiptasia in the tank it may be a good idea but for what appears to be an individual it isn't the smartest of purchasesDo the bhergia nudibranchs really a waste?
I have one piece of rock in my tank that is covered in aiptasia and I ordered 5 bhergia nudibranchs to take care of that,
Most likely the peppermint shrimp molted? I don't think Pipe organ corals should have anything that will irritate the skin.I appreciate everyone’s help. After consideration I’m going to toss it. I usually don’t have a reaction to putting my hand in the fish tank but it has to be leaching something because I came out with skin irritation and the peppermint shrimp died this morning. Not worth keeping. I reached in to collect my freshly passed peppermint shrimp and got a reaction on my skin. It’s not worth saving.
I would hope it was a molt but it was upside down with what looks like organs still in place. It was fresh and not even discolored yet. I have to watch my crabs because they disappeared and some shells look empty. I’m concerned that something took them out.Most likely the peppermint shrimp molted?

Sorry for the troubles though. I'd be hesitant to take that LFS 's advice and maybe check in on R2R with all the helpful people beforehand for some help determining types of coral to save a $.
