What is this??

Found this guy in my red gracilaria algae. I'm still new and just getting my first reef tank set up. Still learning about all this stuff!

looks like a anemone

A monster aptasia to me.

Aptasia. Just remove it.

 

[ssobel80]

I already did, that thing was huge!!! After CafeReef said it looked like an aptasia I started searching for pics and Then decided that was it and removed it.

How worried should I be about more of them? There are none that are visible.

If you find more, remove them or kill them. In most tanks they spread and cause some nasty issues. In other tanks they just don't seem to be such a big deal. But you are better off with out them!

 

[ssobel80]

Well at least I got a cool picture!

Holy aptasia!
