Need Help Identifying a Coral

[brodden]

I was just wondering if anyone can help me identify what type of coral this is in my tank. I think it came in on some LR and it seems to be spreading...

Those are Aptiasa pest anemones, lots of threads on how to get rid of them

I agree with muttley, it looks like the famed nogoodus aiptasia paininabooty species to me. Get rid of it...

kill them asap ,aptasia X works well and a copperband b fly works better if you get one to live .also peppermint shrimp make quick work of them but make sure they are true peps and there ard no fish that consider shrimps as food .

I'd go with berghia nudibranches before letting a peppermint shrimp rip up all my little feather dusters and likely ignore the aiptasia. A copperbanded butterfly is something you have to want, not something to use for aiptasia and they will eat feather dusters first too.

Aiptasia X works pretty well and a bottle of it lasts a long time.
