Just bought a bunch of new coral from the LFS, aptasia was of course running rampid through their tanks, acclimating them now so I have to put them in the tank soon but need to know if this is aptasia like I think it is???:angryfire:

From what I have seen in other tanks the arms are not thin enough?

Help please!!! :worried:

Why would you post this in the Sps section?

looks like it, run a search on how to kill aiptasia. I wouldnt scrape it off or try and pull it off. What happens when you chop a worm in half?...you have two worms. Chop up a starfish and you have 100 starfish. Same thing with an Aiptasia.

I think I got him, he was in a hole about a quarter inch deep. It being on a new piece of coral was nice so I heated up a needle and stabbed the little sucker repeatedly with the red hot poker until he stuck to the needle, dislodged in one piece.
Thanks for the advice guys, now to catch the hawkfish....
