i am new to the hobby
i got a coral from a friend i found that it has aiptasia in it , i did a seachem reef dip for 10 minutes and then added hydrogen peroxide to the dip for 2 minutes . i inspected the frag and it seemed clean and then i put the frag in the tank . after 1 week i noticed that the aiptasia is still there . i removed the frag from the tank . the tank was doing great . then i got a new tank ( bigger one )

Can't see it in either the pic of the video - but are they clove polyps? I would be more worried about them taking over your tank!

Looks like anthellia or pom pom xenia but can be clove polyps. Pics always best under white light intensity no blue for clear ID
