Can anyone tell me what type of anemone this is? It came as a very small hitchhiker and has grown a lot!

It looks like a large aiptasia. :thumbdown

I believe your right.

Get rid of that thing!

Unfortunately I have had some aptasia....it is not like them at all.

If it is a type of aptasia then hopefully the peppermint shrimp in my tank will eradicate it just like the other aptasias that have been eaten!

Thanks for the replies....after a little more research, it appears to be a glass anemone which is indeed aptasia! It has to go!

When they get that large the peppermints usually won't eat it. You'll want to inject it with a kalk slurry or some boiling water.
