:hilarious

The sad thing is some poor sucker is going to buy that...

That's the epitome of trying to lure in the unknowing saltwater tank owner!!!

I just found 3 aiptasia on one piece of live rock. They are still very small. It is a fish only tank and I actually wouldnt mind having something to watch grow. What should I do?

I too like the majanos, I was stupid enough to buy two, now I have 20! Theyre all bright green, since they all split into two about wvery month or so Ill have forty in a week or two, I have an aptasia as well, hes lived next to some richordea for a year now and has only budded off twice and i killed those outright. mine has a whitish hue to it and has eluded stabbings on several occasions. my lfs doesnt carry anything to get rid of them just says to blow hot water on them.

I'd like to add that my specimen did in fact multiply and now looks like this (only worse):

 

[compjtc]

interestingly enough I read an article about a guy using aiptasia in his sump and apparently according to him it did a fantastic job of polishing the water. he then had a powerful uv sterilizer on the return to prevent it from spreading to his tank.
