Aiptasia touching coral

[mrcoffee2]

Hey Guys,

Will this aiptasia sting my coral? My coral has expanded a lot since I started feeding it mysis and it is starting to cover some aiptasia. Is my coral going to get stung or crush them?

aips are pretty invasive, I would try to diminish the problem before it becomes an even bigger one :)

It is hard to get rid of them. I think most home aquaria will eventually have them sooner or later. Water quality might help slow them down to spread :-)

Oh I can take care of the aiptasia with some nudi's I am not too worried about the aiptasia population. I just wana know if they are going to mess with my particular kind of coral?

Also does anyone know what those little green tubes are to the right?

Yes, it will sting your coral.

Possibly Tunicates.

Try to get rid of them as they will multiply rapidly and then it is harder to get rid of them. There are several good products that work.
