I just scraped the glass last night, did this guy really grow that fast or is this something else?

Odd coloring to be aiptasia but the tentacle tips sure look like it.
Aiptasia flow freely in the water column when they are looking for a new "home"
Perfect time to pull it and feed it to the garbage can.

Dang, I had 5 berghia nudibranchs like 2 months ago. They were taking care of these suckers, but I guess they're dead now because Aiptasia is starting to sprout up again.

Ok so I can't make this up, but I forgot to turn off powerhead when grabbing that aiptasia. It got into the water column and floated around until it landed in my acan echinatas mouth. It immediately engulfed the aiptasia.
