So I bought some macro algae for my tank this AM, and this little guy must have come with. He's about the size of a dime. With how quickly he has setup shop and how healthy he looks, I'm worried he may be an Aiptasia. What do y'all think?

Definitely looks like Aiptasia.

If I already have peppermint shrimp, should I leave it or just remove and be done with it?

Definitely looks like Aiptasia.

Agreed.

You could glue it or take the piece out and zap it with boiling water.

Aiptasia for sure. Get rid of it before it spreads

Hey, guys. Thanks for the heads up. I just sucked him out with a syringe and put him down the garbage disposal.

One of the best aiptasia eaters is the BERGHIA NUDIBRANCH.
