Young bubble tip or aptasia

[BryanB]

I was told a young bubble tip a couple months back but now it's getting bigger I have my doubts.

Oh and it's about 1.5 inches across.

Looks to be aiptasia to me. It has the long pointed tentacles and you can clearly see the nematocysts in the second pic.

+1 on the aiptasia....seems to be it! removing that's gonna be tough unless you can get to the rock, throw some putty over it and let it cure or coral glue...

Bad thing is its foot I would call it is under a rock clam and I can't get to it without killing the clam.

I'm suffering Aptasia now and am doing the lime juice with a syringe. So far so good. I will keep you posted if they comeback.

So everyday I am finding at least 2. I've noticed the bigger they are the easier it is to kill them. I just killed 2 big ones not sure if this small one I found is Aptasia or a feather duster. It's tiny so I juiced em!!!

Peppermint shrimp will take care of the small ones

I got one I need a good name for him. He's a bum. He lives in a cave and comes out only when I shine a light on it.

aiptasia, pain in the *** to get rid of take the rock out and pour boiling water on it.

I hope for your sake that it is not aptasia. Those things suck the big ones. Trying to keep BTA in a aptasia plagued tank is no fun at all.
