Hi all.

I've had fish, zoas, and leather coral frags in my tank about 10 days. When I first added the zoas, I saw some tiny thing that I thought was just algae. Now it's bigger and I'm worried it's Aiptasia. I hope these images are good enough - I took them with my phone. It's coming out from under the zoa frag plug.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
rant

Ugh! There are two in that picture, aren't there? I just removed the big one coming out from under the frag. I didn't see the other one.

What's the best superglue for killing Aiptasia? Is Crazy Glue OK? Do you just cover the suckers with the glue? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Covered the two Aiptasia I could see and the whole bottom of my zoa frag plug with superglue. Hoping for the best.

See if you can rip that sucker out with tweezers and can it.

I've only had livestock in the tank for a little more than two weeks. How many could I have? So far, I've only seen them peeking out from under the zoa frag.
