Aspasta??

[Neo-Jeo]

I bought a brain coral off some guy and it looked like it had some green polyps attached...
They are now spreading alot like every 1-2" apart. They are green but they sorta look like Aspasta spelling is off...
Im worried its aspasta.. I thought it was brown but they are growing FAST!...

They or sorta small but light green with small tentacles
I tired getting a picture but I could not get a snap shot

Sounds like it may be majano anemones. Do a google of that. They can be greenish. Just as nasty as Aiptasia to get rid of.

Do a google search for aiptasia (correct spelling) see if that is what it is...

they can be like mojano but they are not

neo jeo,

If it is indeed aiptasia, there are a few methods...

Joes Juice
Aiptasia X
Peppermint shrimp eat aiptasia (may not eat larger aiptasia though)

Re: Aspasta??

Copperbands control aiptasia in my tanks. I assume that they will eat majanos but I do not know for sure.

They can be hit or miss though in tema of eating aiptasia. They are also finicky eaters and can be hard to get started.

i may have not seen everything, but i have never seen anything in the aiptasia family of common pests be anything other than clear/tan/pinkish-tan/brown (tube anemones excepted of course)

majanos are deceptively pretty.

you should take a pic...even some hydroids resemble aiptasia.

this is just in the dark guessing at this point.

If it is aiptasia, Berghia nudi's eat them. Large or small.
