Hello everyone. So I just found a single glass anemone on one of my zoa frags on my zoa garden. I've had these corals for the past 6 weeks and it just popped out today or a max of 2 days ago, as I did a cleaning of my zoa garden and did not see it. I have not received any corals since then, up until last night My tank is 2 months old since cycle has finished. I have dipped every single new coral I have gotten and have done a very thorough inspection of them upon arrival. There was no trace of any aptasia on any of the corals I purchased.
I have not tried to scrape it off or try to pull it out as I do not want it to reproduce. I agitated it a little bit until it retreated into its hole and I plugged it with a decent amount of epoxy.
Questions:
1) How long can a glass anemone be hidden in a piece of rock work on a frag until it pops out?
2) I do not see any others in the tank after a thorough investigation. I know this does not mean it's now gone; once you get aptasia, it will always be in the tank. However, should I get a file fish and peppermint shrimp to help any breakouts? I do not want them to starve if no further aptasia pops up.
Appreciate the feedback everyone!
