Aiptasia?

[ddrueckh]

Most Aiptasia I have seen has strait tentacles. The tentacles on this are sort of corkscrew. What is it? Thanks.

Yes, it is an type of Aiptasia of the genus Bartholomea annulata, common in the Caribbean.

It looks like they don’t spread/reproduce in a tank. I will leave it for now. Thanks.

Yes, it does not reproduce quickly like common Aiptasia and tends not to become invasive but is very aggressive to fish and shrimp and is not a good neighbor to corals that are nearby. It is also called Curlique anemone.

Good luck!
