Possible Aiptasia ID

[OliverE]

Hi everyone,
I’m a reasonably new reefer and was wondering what this little hitchhiker might be.
I’m concerned it could be aiptasia but it has only slowly grown over a month or so and it has not reproduced to my knowledge. It also doesn’t look like aiptasia that I’ve seen.
Any help would be great! Thanks

Looks like it. Can you post a pic under white light.

Yup, Aiptasia. You can kill it with Kalk paste, aiptasia x, or smother it with gel superglue.

I just went to war on them this last weekend. Due to an injury and subsequent surgery on my hand I was unable to do water changes since early June. The little buggers had spread some. Boiling water in a syringe got every last one (that I could find). Followed up with a large water change and things are back to where they should be!

Thanks for that! I’ll get onto it
