Aptasia????

[Reef-Or-Die]

Just purchased some live rock for a new cycle and noticed about 6 of these guys pop up. Im pretty sure they are aptasia but would like to confirm. Let me know what you guys think as well as suggestions. Thanks.

Not aptasia in my opinion / experience.

Check out my thread on the the majeno anemone. I got a pretty good shot of mine see if it looks like that.

Thanks for ID guys! Any tips to DESTROY them lol. I see kalkwasser is a popular option. Let me know what methods are effective for you. Thanks.

Mix Kalk (if u have some, if u don't have buy the Lime pickling at Walmart same as kalk) and little vinegar then shot that anemone..

Majanos for sure. A few years ago there was someone on here actually trying to sell them, if you can believe it. Your best bet is to find someone with a zapper. The Joliet Area Reef Club had one and I used it to annihilate majanos when I had them. You can find them on FB and could try reaching out, they are good people. Good luck.

I used coral fragging tools and scrapped them off. Then rinsed rock in ro water. Been a month no reappearance yet.

Thanks for tips! I nuked them with aptasia-x seemed to do the job rather quickly. Will update if problem persists. Thanks again all!
