Hi all! I’m new to this forum. To be completely honest, I’m mainly here in order to use this platform as a way to sell my excess coral. (Since ebay has literally zero seller protection on live goods) But since I need to make some contributions before doing so, I might as well enjoy the ride.

So here’s an interesting thing I found in my local mom and pop aquarium store. A giant aiptasia. Literally the size of a large mushroom.

One month later and it seems to be getting bigger. Asked the owner why it’s in there and he said he needs to kill it, but just left it as that.

Welcome to R2R! Whatever your reasons for being here, you will find this forum to be filled with a massive amount of information, knowledgeable people, and a very special community. Good luck with your extra corals!

On a side note, you may want to let your LFS owner know about F-Aiptasia by Frank's Tanks - unlike most comparable products it kills Aiptasia the first time.
