TBS Pest Anemone

[aidensav]

Around 2 months ago I bought 5 lbs of reef rubble for Tampa Bay Saltwater. There were maybe 3-5 anemones that I could count. Now there are like 15, very obviously reproducing, with one of them bothering my zoanthids. Its not aiptasia because most of them hide during the day. Can I inject these pests with lemon juice or will they reproduce like crazy if I do that, as aiptasia would.

Looks like classic pest anemone, just another name for Apitasia. I would proceed with whatever treatment you choose but I would start with Peppermint Shrimp.

Its not aiptasia… TBS doesnt have aiptasia and it came on their rock.

I've had good luck with Peppermint Shrimp also. From both both my LFS and Reef Cleaners.
