Confirmation on a Aiptasia Anemone.

[ddibbern5]

Hello I am new to reef keeping and would like confirmation that these guys are Aiptasia anemones. Before I get rid of them. After reviewing many posts I’ve found some that are very close in appearance but not exact.

If I am correct and they are Aiptasia can I just flip the rock so they don't get any light?

Thanks!

those ARE NOT apstias.

they ARE Majanos ... unfortunately also a pest anemone like the glass anemone

These guys will reproduce faster than rabbits and they can effect some corals.

Some suppliers don't even know what they are becasue they usually are hitchhikers.

I had one tiny one now I have fout big ones.
I am going to take them to the store and give them away.

I think injecting them with Kalk or boiling hot water will help annihilate those.
