AEFW or something else?

[Acros]

Found this one hanging loosely off a cali tort today morning. Is it a AEFW or something else? It was a lot more fluffed up before I took it out of water (almost double the size).

No resistance or difficulty picking it off with tweezers.

It was hanging off the highlighted region.

Looks like a collanista snail but not a flatworm
Hard to tell out of water

Does it have a hard shell or completly soft?
Just looking at the white picture I blew it up to see if there were any more.
Do you know what this is?

I have an abundance of colonista snails that come out at night. This one however did not have a hard shell. It was straighter and fluffier in water.

I kinda freaked out and took it out of water before taking a pic.

That is a radial coralite. Two of them growing close to each other.

No it did not have a hard shell. Completely soft. I am going to put it in a little bit of tank water in a cup and see if it poofs up again.

The napkin must have dried it out a little too much.

May be little ciliates but has looks of flatworm such as polyclad

Could it be an anemone? I have aiptasia.

Does looks like a polyp of some sort.

It was firmly attached to the cup after a few hours. I have seen aiptasia looking stuff on my glass before (they are present in the tank anyway).

Well at least it’s not AEFW. Do you have Pocillopora damicornis in that system?

Nope. Just have acros, milli, one stylo, one monti. A zoa rock and one newly added goni.

Aiptasia it is then!

 

[vetteguy53081]

Hard to tell but aptasia not ruled out. If so, you can keep it simple to stop them.
Using syringe, inject either lemon juice or better yet. . kalkwasser powder mixed with tank water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste and inject into the very center core and it will melt away

Update: It was gulf aiptasia. The smaller kind that comes on gulf live rock. Sometimes they walk onto my glass.
