Hi

New reefer. Is this aiptasia on our newly acquired turbo please?

It sure is. At least it's easy to remove it. Treating it will be a tiny bit tougher since it's on the move though, lol.

Hey Bradley. Thanks for replying. We removed the snail when we saw it and put it in a jug. Then we cut the aiptasia away with an exacto, sandpapered the ‘root’ and superglued it. I’m not sure of the lifecycle of aiptasia so unsure if it could have released eggs.

Here’s a post op shot.

Sounds/looks promising, and I wouldn't be worried about eggs.

Think we found another tiny one. Treated the same way. Let’s wait and see!
