Aiptasia anemone?

[sh4n]

can anyone tell me if this is aiptasia? thanks

Yes it is and you have a bad outbreak.
My advice..... Joes Juice and aptasia X are good, a better choice since you have so much...get some peppermint shrimp. Zap the large ones with J juice and let the critters eat any that come up after. (peps eat the young tender ones)

ok thanks flower.. will a peppermint shrimp be a bad idea if i have a red corris wrasse?

 

[flower]

I never had such a fish...do a google search and ask about that fish and pepermint shrimp..see what info comes up. Maybe somebody on here can jump in and help, it's early

Edit: I have red corris and yes it will eat your peppermint.
if you don't want to add any chemicals in your tank, you can add peppermint shrimp or a butterfly fish. I have raccoon butterfly and it ate up over 100 of them in less then a week.
And my tank was BAD.

thanks siptang. i thought butterflies arent reef safe? (i have corals)

 

[siptang]

Ahhh i see. Didn't know you have corals.
Yes, butterflys do nip at the corals. I haven't had that issue yet but I'm keeping my eyes on the colts that I have in my tank.
