I am the odd person out, but I sort of like aipstasia myself and have a tank with nothing but varous and nice looking aip in it. The florescent colors it is found in is exceptionally nice and will give a lot of corals a run for their money.....There is also another usually unwanted anenome that resembles aip, but its tentacles are shaped different, that is also considered a pest, and they look fine once they are larger. Its name starts with an M IIRC......I have a heap of aip in that tank and have not really noticed it spreading around like its claimed to do, as its only the ones I actualy put in there that I have seen growing......no new offshoots noticed.

That is pretty awful. This reminded me of an incident I experienced a few months ago. Check out my post: Live Rock for Sale?!

I'm with you. I have one specimen that is about 4" tall and can spread out about 5". I love to watch him eat. I throw him a few pellets and watch him go to town! I haven't had any problem with them spreading in any of my tanks.

I haven't noticed any but I haven't looked either. I know in the 55 (I think they're 55's) gallons at the back they have a tang with a lion and a couple YT damsels. Isn't that a little small for it. I know where you're talking about though.

Hello guys and gals, I have been reading this site for a few months and decided to register(not that I know enough to help anyone), but I need to know where I might find this "joe's juice" I purchased a orange zoo colony and it had a little aiptasia on it , no big deal. Now four months later, I have them everywhere. Looked like they just killing out the zoos. They have attacked my brain-literaly and phyically. Green open brain showing his ectoskelton where "THE PEST" is stinging it I guess. HELP PLEASE!!!!

Wow, both the aitstasia and live rock story is crazy. I don't know how anyone could like aipstasia. Personally, I think it looks terrible, and I hate when it begins to spread. It is such a pain.
On a related note, while working in an LFS one time, I actually had a person ask me how the store I was working in got cyanobacteria to grow. They then proceeded to ask me if they could buy some of the cyano off of me. After explaining that it was a nuisance algae and that they really don't want it, the person got mad at me and stormed out because I would not sell him some of my "awesome" cyano. He said it was not fair that I only sold the "good stuff" to the regulars.

Just wait until yu get some nicely colored manjano anemones. Now they get huge just like a condy does. They can be dull brown or green, or be quite bright in the bright green, pink and purple variations. Manjano beats aipstasia hands down, unles of course you happen to get some of the florescent yellow/green aip, which is super looking under actinics or lunar lights. I still do not see it as being that much of a pest really even in my tank of undersireables....

Well my lfs sells corals and lots of them have green bubble algae on them, and they do not charge for it. Its a freebee just like their flat worms
Green bubble algae is interesting just like aip and manjano's are. I also have some red looking stuff that is translucent and glows in actinics very nice. It can glow orange or red colors, and it looks like warts 0r flattened out green bubble algae but only red. It seems to grow on top of each other more than separately. and it to is some pretty neat stuff.
