I dont wanna imagine. But let me tell you the entire rockwork of this tunnel segment (reef fish, sharks, rays, groupers, turtles and moray eels mostly) is just filled with these aiptasia. The amount of aiptasia in that aquarium has gotta be years and years of spreading.Looks like it. Can you imagine the task ahead of you!?
$0 budget for tank maintenance, lol.I dont wanna imagine.

It looked exactly like aiptasia just lot less brown like ones we usually encounter in our tanks.I’m on my phone but I’m wondering if you are looking at colonial hydroids vs aiptasia?
Very possibly one of the less invasive species... For example, aiptasia native to the Gulf of Mexico and parts of the Caribbean are as reef safe as any other anemone...It looked exactly like aiptasia just lot less brown like ones we usually encounter in our tanks.
Might also be the result of lighting; Aiptasia often become very pale under dim light (ex. in dumps and overflows) and I doubt the lights public aquariums use on their fish-only tanks are as intense as those geared towards growing corals (at least not at the depth the Aiptasia are growing at).Very possibly one of the less invasive species... For example, aiptasia native to the Gulf of Mexico and parts of the Caribbean are as reef safe as any other anemone...
Possible like you said. Although, this is in Malaysia so it could have been a local species since majority of the fish in the aquarium is from our native waters. Then again I’m not sure if there are any Aiptasia native to the Indo Pacific.Very possibly one of the less invasive species...
