Just got some TBS rock in to add some biodiversity to my system, this rock is in two large refugium's and found these guys and debating if they may multiply and become a nusaince?, @LiverockRocks ? Lightbulb Anemone
What Would You Do?

Why wouldn't you keep it?

Very nice one. I think I read that the yellowish are rare.

That is some nice looking rock. One could probably start a little nano with just some rock and what ever comes in on it .

Why wouldn't you keep it?

Because I don't want them to possibly multiply and spread like aiptasia anemones.

This rock does have a LOT going on LOL

It is really nice, I bought some recently and had a cool little sps coral come in on it.

I had a fairly decent sized LBA come in on the rocks for my current tank. Decided to keep it. I generally keep my hitchhikers, excepting aiptasia and majanos for example. TBS has great rock, but I went with KP and Gulf Live Rock due to faster delivery and I’ve used them before with success.

I had two for several months. They didn’t spread but seemingly disappeared. I do have one peppermint shrimp in the tank though. I enjoyed them while they were present.

I would 100% keep that. That is a cool hitchhiker to have!

Absolutely, they don't reproduce like the indo variety and peppermint shrimp will eat them.

There are many species of aiptasia with different traits. These are solitary and while not the prettiest nem they do add interest. If they are in the sump, I'd let them be. Or add some peppermints and they will eventually disappear. Bellactis Lux Anemone

We are actively working on turnaround times and looking to hire.
Ordered another 40' container from Fiji, planting 5,000lbs this week, and harvesting for RAP Orlando next week; we are a small team working at max capacity.

Turkey basting detritus into the water column and dosing phyto will prolong the Bryozoans and tunicates.

I am thinking about a little more in the tank and since my initial gotta have it now is done, I’ve been looking at the 5 lb primo treasure chest as I’ve had your rock before and was very pleased with it.
And I’ve got tunicates at the moment and doing a broadcast feed of Goniopower and freeze dried rotifer powder seems to be keeping them going as well as making my Gonis in particular happy.

I’ve removed a couple and left the rest of surprises. Didn’t change lighting but snapped quick pics, a purple macro just showed up by the white anemone. The coral, one of quite a few is a green-yellow.
