Does this look like aptasia? There was a small one in the sand at the base I pulled out a couple weeks ago. Then I saw one on the candy cane, pulled it, scrubbed it with hydrogen peroxide a week ago. Now I see it again. I was going to pull it and scrub again but want to be sure that’s what it probably is.

Well i took it out, scrubbed it with a brush with hydrogen peroxide, put it back in the tank, and about 1 hr later i saw it again. Took it out and scratched it with tweezers. See what happens.
