Is this aiptasia?

[kiddbid]

Hello,

Cananyone ID please? It's growing out of the side of rock not really closeto where any coral is or was.



The closest thing to it is what I believe tobe cyano which I siphon out about once a week.


Thanks.

The white spots that cope pods

I'm not sure I see aptasia in pics. I see the white spots though

 

[Kworker]

Yes it is.

 

[crox99]

Yep. How many do you have?

 

[fredro]

The white spots are calcium deposits.

 

[kiddbid]

I only found the one, fed it some Red Sea Aiptasia-X, now it's gone.
I was wondering what those white spots were. I have a lot that popped up recently, thought they were tubeworms or something like that.

aiptasia x never really worked well for me. it was always temporary. AX had the same results as shooting lemon juice into the mouth of the aiptasia. the best thing is a bristletail file fish but it will eat your acans and zoos after the bad stuff is gone.

 

[kiddbid]

Well I really like my acans so that file fish is a no go. I'll just have to keep an eye out for more. It just popped up where nothing else is so I was surprised.

What's the dimensions of the tank? If you get a copperband that's eating prepared, it will probably take care of it and you should be able to keep feeding it prepared foods as well. What I'm currently doing in my 180.

Tube worms

 

[kiddbid]

The tank is only 65 gallons. The copperband is just another fish I would love to have but will not thrive in my tank.


Are the tube worms benign?

If you are worried just get some peppermint shrimps. They are cool anyways.
