Is this Aiptasia?

Noticed this guy tonight on the bottom of one of my rocks. Looks like aphasia, but I'm not sure. I don't see any others.

Yes.

 

[xandrew245x]

Yes.

Alright thanks, I was considering adding a peppermint shrimp before I saw this, so I guess that's an easy choice now.

Make sure it’s the right peppermint shrimp with the right genus. Bergias are also good but for just 1 you can also super glue it or use a kalk paste for it

It is in a really difficult spot on my rock, and isnt a piece I can easily remove. I may be able to get kalk paste on it.

How do I know if I am getting the right peppermint shrimp?

There’s many types of peppermint shrimp but the best at eating aptasia are Lysmata wurdemanni Or Lysmata boggessi they have both been very effective in eradicating aptasia. I have 3 wurdemani and zero aptasia.

Where there is one there are probably 5 more. Those things pop up everywhere. Get them when you see them
