Is this Aiptasia?

[jayfacc]

Sorry guys for yet another Aiptasia post. I am not sure if this is baby Aiptasia or something else.
I do have a few feather dusters but I don't see any tubes on this one. It goes into a small hole in the rock.

The tank is 1 week old with LR from my LFS. There are 2 or 3 on the same rock.

Excuse the bad pics, I don't have a macro lens for my SLR yet.

Any help is much appreciated thanks!

Yeah sure looks like it. Don't worry much just get some peppermint shrimp (assuming you are going with a peaceful tank where they wont be eaten) when you add a clean up crew, they'll take good care of it for you.

It is. If they are only on one rock you could give it an acid bath or pull it out and dump some baking soda on the nems more locally and let it sit for an hour to kill them. The problem with aiptasia is that when you stress them and don't kill them completely the will drop lots of babies in an effort to survive.

i think it looks like a duster.

does it retract fast to light changes or act more like an anem

Hard to tell for sure from the photo, but not sure it is Aptasia. Almost looks like a feather worm. Does it retract when you get close to it?

 

[jayfacc]

Sometimes they shot into the hole when I shine a flashlight on them sometimes they don't.

I tried aptasiaX but they shoot in too fast to kill them.

looks like a mini feather duster worm to me... just my 2 cents!

its a duster. nit aiptasia if thats the case stated above

 

[jayfacc]

It's hard to tell. If I wait untill they grow bigger to will they spread or should I try to kill them now?

I also have this slug/snail thing anyone know what this is?

Feather duster, nothing to worry about, don't kill it.

The snail looks like a baby stomella, also good.
