Friend or Enemy?

[rachel1306]

Our reef tank has been up for awhile and we recently started seeing these appear after our last purchase or coral. Anyone know what it is? Should I be concerned? I’ve found 4.

Enemy it’s aiptasia you need to kill it and search for more if you see one there’s probably a lot more.

Aptasia. Kill it with fire.

You can put super glue over them, and I know others have success with kalkwaser paste

F aptasia works well and is easy. I’ve injected big ones with lemon juice and they melted. I’ve used Berghia nudibranchs to get the ones I couldn’t see or get to. Others have had success with peppermint shrimp, file fish and CBB.

Kalk paste and inject lemon juice injection. Or boiling water injection. Those all work to a degree or break off rock portion to be100% sure.
