So this thing just refuses to die! I’m assuming it’s aiptasia, however after looking at a lot of images on google, I really don’t see any that share the same pattern tentacles. The guy is getting pretty big, much bigger than the image leads on.

Looks like a Bartholomea annulata aka curlyque nem.

Easy way to remove is with a modified nem cannon. You want to try and match the pipe to the base of the nem. Usually you can get curlyques to walk up a 3/8" pex or 1/2" pvc pipe.
