Being an optimist tho I found one in my tank about 2 months ago , removed the rock and ain't seen another one . I have my fingers crossed tho .

Yes jokes aside, until you guys rid of these in your aquariums we will be forever plagued by them? There's hundreds and thousands of people buying/swapping corals and eventually it will be in my aquriam.
Best to remove before taking a 'nice photo' .

Thankfully it was still in the container it was shipped in, and never went in my tank. Definitely not going in there now, not worth the risk!

Could probably get away with cleaning off a few strands and just getting them to grow out instead of going thru the hassle of purchasing more.

I’ve considered this because with shipping it cost $60 , but on the other hand, is losing $60 better than a potential aiptasia issue? Probably!

Thankfully this was taken from the container it was shipped in, no plans to put it in my tank! I have a deep fear of any and all hitchhikers because when I was young, a mantis shrimp got into the tank via a piece of live rock, and it murdered some of my favorite fish before we were able to get it out

Yea aiptasia are definitely super nasty Think you would be fine if you inspect a few strands. Can definitely get it growing from Just a strip over a complete loss. 60 bucks is quite expensive
