Hitchhiker ID Please !!!

[blue300zx]

I looked in the hitchhiker ID thread, and no luck on that one...My tank has been going for about 2.5-3 weeks..I found my first hitchhiker last night..I am attaching pics, but they are blurry, so I will try to describe it as much as possible...It is an anemone of some sort...I hope it isnt aiptasia !!! It is reddish orange in color...it is about the size of a pencil eraser...It has a dark center...I hope this helps ???

:notsure:

Thanks,

It's really hard to tell from the picture, but it could very well be an aiptasia or mojano anemone. If it is, just scrape it off the glass and dump it.

If nothing else this is a bump for you.

hey thanks Bigarn !!!

I went to my local reef shop where i got my LR and they said that it is most likely aiptasia but hey its ok...like you said i am just going to scrape and dump !!!

IMO I would not scrape it off, if you tear any cells off from it those cells will become a new aptasia(s).
Use Kalk or Joe's to kill it.

heat up water and put it in a eye dropper
spray the water at it
