Hi everyone,

Could you please help to identify this hitch hiker ? I need to know if it’s Aiptasia to prepare for war lol

Also I have a snail with something on its shell that also has a shell, anyone able to identify?

Prepare for war... looks like aptasia! Either way brown anemone is never a good sign. Not sure what to look for on your snail, are you talking about the snail near the tip?

Oh no lol I have some reef putty and I think I’ll just close it up , and yes! The snail has something on its shell with a shell but it doesn’t really ever move

Just make sure to do a good cover of the area aptaisa has a way of hiding itself in the darkest of places.

I was going to say we might be looking at a limpet, but if it doesn't move... Would need a pic of the top of the shell.
