Is this what I think it is? Cuz I am hoping it's not
lol.

If it is aiptasia, I have heard red legged hermits, as well as pepperment shrimp can take these guys out...which I am kinda hoping..since I have the hermits in the tank now, and peppermint is on the way (needed one anyway). Thanx all

It is lol, get a bottle of red sea aiptaisia X. I've used the stuff and it is GREAT. the formula causes the anemones to mistake it for food and wrap up around it and it seals them from releasing planula and it causes them to implode. You won't be disappointed and it is reef safe with no effects to water parameters

Thanks for the confirmation and the suggestion on the stuff to get rid of them. I looked on their website, and it looks pretty amazing. I might just have to try it. Thanks again!

I'm sure it's aiptasia...but at first glance it almost looks like a curlyQ anenome (same family though)...I think it's just the picture being a little out of focus though.
I had some aiptaisia in my tank at the beginning (hitchiker on rocks) but ever since I added the peppermint shrimp there has been none to be seen in about a year!
