Aiptasia or not ?

[phocuz]

Hi!

I need help on an ID. Wondering if it is aiptasia or not. Its very small. Aprox 0,5 inch. Only seen them in the shadow so far.
I had aiptasia a long time ago and they doesnt quite look like them imo.

Look more like Hydroids

Yeah I will second the Hydroids.

I third that, pretty sure it's not aptasia.

they could be hydroids, but they could also be a type of Foraminiferan. first pic here. http://home2.pacific.net.ph/~sweetyummy42/hitchodds.html which is what i would lean towards.

One way to distiguish is if they break, Foraminiferans will tend to break rather than bend.

Good thing

Some kind of hydroids are agressive but because they stay in the shade and below the rockwork they will stay away from your corals so they are no problem at all and are good filter feeders.

Never noticed them before i removed some Peppermint shrimps(wurdemanni) from the aquarium a week ago. It seems like they are multiplying really fast now. After reading other posts about hydroids becomming a pest Im thinking about getting some new shrimps.
