Aiptasia?

[golgi aparatus]

Can you guys take a look and tell me if this is indeed aptasia? I noticed them EVERYWHERE in my father's tank. They don't look exactly like the ones I see online or in my tank occasionally. They have little balls on the end of the tentacles. PLEASE help me identify this as it is choking out all the corals in the tank. They are everywhere, on rocks, clams, overflow, montiporas' ...etc.
Thanks!

+1....you better get busy killing them.....in this instance I would go to the store and buy a package of the powder pickling lime.....mix it up and inject a few a day

man thats quite an outbreak! Id get lots of something....e.g. aptasiaX, joes juice....
id take it slow and kill small groups a day....i turn my filtration off and powerhead when doing this as not to get the stuff everywhere and only in the effected areas....move in slow with the syringe and it will close down on the needle part. Thats when u inject it, making it swallow the nastys!
Good luck

OK, wow. Thanks alot for the help with the ID of these suckers. I knew they were some sort of pest. I wish we would have discovered sooner, but such is life. I'll pick up some Aiptasia-x and get to work. We'll attach the ones that are affecting other corals first and slowly move on to the rest over time. Thank you very much each of you for your help! I'll post some pics after we have launched our first assault!
