Are these aptasia's??????

[looneytoons]

I have these things growing on my live rock that look like aptasia, but they are red. I was under the impression that aptasia were light brown or tan. I would hate to eradicate these things if they are not harmful. What could they be??????

I can't tell you for sure. Aiptasia's are usually brown, brownish clear or whiteish clear, but there are many varieties, and those are not the only colors they come in, just the most common.HTH

Iagree that the brownish varieties are the most common---but red and brown can sometinmes blend. Find a pic and identify based on structure rather than color. If they are good luck getting rid of them--you'll need it.
