Looking for confirmation that this is aiptasia wondering if I should toss this frag or try to treat it. It has been in my tank for about a month. I dont see any signs that it has spread.
Thanks!

Yea it’s aptasia. Just mix up a slurry of kalk and feed it to it. If it’s been in there a month you’ll most likely start seeing others pop up. Just be on the lookout and smite them when you see them.

As you are likely reading, aiptasia drop 1-5 'babies' weekly... coral already seems to be IN your main tank and not in a coral quarantine tank.
ASAP treat with thick kalkwasser paste or my favorite is F-Aiptasia, but whatever you can quickly get to get started. Then AS SOON as you see another, zap it also.
Never scrub an aiptasia... each tiny bit forms another.
If I had it to do over, would have started three different type dipping sooner and also have each new coral going into coral quarantine tank for 3-6 months observation before going into main display tank... but for me, that boat sailed, probably sailed the day caught my BF scrubbing aiptasia "him: to feel better" ... I'm raising berghia hoping not to lose more corals or fish (or BF ... have not yet shot him... but everyone is sad)
Good luck to you!

Does anyone have any experience with Berghia Nudis? I will prep some kalk paste.
Yea I sell/breed them but for how small those are you won’t need them. Nudis are a last resort for aptasia. If you’re worried get a file fish and it’ll keep them down too so they won’t be an issue in the tank.
