Aiptasia - the green base is reflecting on it's tentacles.

Yes, the green base is reflecting on the tentacles. Dang, so it is Aiptasia, what would you recommend doing? If I don't get rid of it, will it cause harm? This is my first experience, lol.

lots of methods. Aiptasia x has worked well for me in the past.
That being said, a lot of reefers here would outright toss that coral as once you have aiptasia its hard to get rid of.

Dont stress it, it's part of the ecosystem. You just want to keep them from going out of control and from annoying your corals. Everyone here has a method of getting rid of them, mine is "F-Aptasia". You can find on Amazon and you dont need to inject into the mouth, just cover it for the most part and you're done. If you dont have any wrasses and you find that you have a bunch more aiptasia coming, i've had luck with bergdi nudibranchs. They just need a somewhat steady amount of aiptasia because once they're gone, well that's it.
