Please confirm if Aiptasia?

[bgwilson89]

Hello, looks like I have a stowaway aiptasia that came with some rebel rock I purchased. Can someone please confirm this is correct from the photo, before I nuke this thing!

It's attached to a small piece of rubble rock, so if this is a aiptasia I plan to just toss the piece out instead of an involved method of removal. If anyone has an alternate suggestion, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Great, out the door it goes! Thanks so much for the quick replies everyone!

craziest thing! as soon as I got confirmation from all of you, I went to take care of this. Went to the piece of LR this thing was clinging to and it was gone! must know I'm coming after it! Going hunting for it now!

i cant find this aiptasia anywhere now! I dont think I have anything in the tank that would have eaten it. While looking I came across my Bicolor Pseudochromis that must have just died he was fine this morning, still has a lot of color, bummer. I don't think he would have gone after it, right? I'll keep looking the tank for that aiptasia.

Well they do retract but should pop up soon.

And they do spread fast too... i'd suggest you kill it as soon as you get it before you have more growing everywhere. Try using Joes Juice. It worked for me.
