Need help ID'ing this one...

[joec]

Hi all...

This guy was hitchhiking on my rock when I got it. I put it in, and overnight he moved off the rock "” behind and kind of under it. It's about the diameter of a golf ball, maybe a little bit bigger. A few people thought it was aiptasia - but I really hope it isn't.

Would love to hear some of you chime in on what this could be!

Thanks!

i think its aptasia also,i find one every so often then i boil water and blast them through a syringe

Yup it appears to be an aptasia or a majano anemone.

I agree it's aptasia,I use pickling lime to get rid of any I find.

Damn... Was hoping it wasn't!! Aren't peppermint shrimp supposed to eat them? He goes nowhere near it.

SNAKEMANVET - can you describe your process of getting rid of them? Might need to work on that this weekend.

Thanks...

I use mrs wagers pickling lime,pick it any grocery store,Mix with ro water to make a thick paste.Turn off all powerheads and pumps,this keeps it from getting on your corals.Use a syringe and inject into the mouth or body/foot.If it retracts into a hole,I just fill the hole it went into.
