Is this aiptasia?

[baller71ss]

I had a similar looking anemone hitch-hiker with my TBS rock. It hasn't moved, reproduced, or harmed anything in the 3 months I've had the tank. Seems alright to me, lovin' the TBS rock!

Here's a nice article about the elusive aiptasia and the peppermint shrimp.

Unlike Tran I think there is something left to be learned here. I don't quite understand how someone can think, "I've said my point, lets close the puppy."

I'm not sure which species of Aiptasia that is, but it's currently spread throughout my tank. I've been trying to get rid of it for a couple months now and I'm slowly making a dent. I'll try to send some pics when I get home tonight.

Wish I could give you input on this, but as a TBS customer I had a small handful of these... I must have gotten lucky with a hungry pair of peppermint shrimp from the LFS, the day after the shrimp went into the tank it was picked clean.
