"baby zooanthids?"

[soupysteve]

Anyone have a picture of what a NEW zooanthid looks like? I have a colony of them - but today on the other end of my tank (next to my yellow polyps) I found a couple small growths of the same color of my zooanthids - I need to make sure they aren't aptasia before I kill them... here's the pics I took...

Are you reffering to the brown "Zoanthids?" If so, than those are really anemonia majano. They're similiar to aiptasia, although I doubt you will be able to find a biological way of defense (IE:, Pepperment shrimp) to kill them. I would recommend blasting them with a calcium hydroxide paste.

yeah - zoanthid. Thanks for the correction. I have zoanthids - I need to know if these things I have pictured above (next to the polyps) are any sort of problem anemone, as I see three little specks of them in my tank at the moment
