SRC Member dradttg Posted December 22, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hi fellow reefers; Can help to id this creature?? Thanks alot. I think you should get rid of it. It call a aprixxx or something like that. It will sting your fish and coral when it gets bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member SpiderOne Posted December 22, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 22, 2003 looks like aptasia . should be an anemone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member gtrigger Posted December 23, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted December 23, 2003 I think it should not do any harm to fish or corals since it's still small. I will keep an eye on it. Thanks guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member twilight Posted December 23, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 23, 2003 they're known to be LR hitchhiker pests! if dun eliminate now, later got problem when multiply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member blacknails Posted December 23, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 23, 2003 wait and see... they dun multiply immediately... Ermm... Actually no... Don't wait and see!! Get rid of it now or else when it really does multiply then things would very likely get pretty screwy.... Go read up on these pest anemones and destroy it as recommended.. Even if it isn't what we think it is, I personally wouldn't take the chance.... Good luck, dude.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Tang Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 It's spelt as Aiptasia. There are a few ways to get rid of it. Do a search on Aiptasia in SRC.... its been discussed before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member reeflobang Posted December 24, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 24, 2003 Get a small stringe with a tiny needle and inject concentrate Kalk solution into it... but must be fast as they shrink into a ball really fast.. cruel but it works......

SRC Member flubberina13 Posted December 24, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted December 24, 2003 Copperband butterfly(must be at least three inch type) and peppermint shrimps help too... But for the latter, dun just buy it for the sake of aiptasia though they are cheaper than the shrimps unless you wanna keep it in your tank...
