Nuisance coral

[Bill in CT]

Could you please help me identify this coral....seems to be “snuffing out” my zoas

That's aptasia.

What he said! ^^^

I've never tried this myself, but I hear an aptasia eating filefish would help you get rid of them. Which you really want to do as quickly as possible, they will sting all of your coral.

Best Solution is Nudibranch

They work, all they eat is Aptasia and don't bother anything else
Filefish may or may not work and some even pick at your good corals

Nudibranch you put in and for a week or two you swear nothing is happening and then all of a sudden you start seeing the population of aptasia starting to diminish
