Looks like a nuisance anemone. Maybe a majano but not sure...heres a bump for ya.

should i kill it?

Looks like aiptasia to me. You can inject it with kalk mixed with a little water. Make it into a paste and kill him.

Yep.
Although they can be interesting in a small species tank or as food for Berghia vericucornis.

 

[akinda]

thnx you all.
just wandering why they are so bad do they kill fish?

 

[bang guy]

They rarely harm fish. They will reproduce at a rate to embarrass rabbits. They have a strong sting that will harm any other corals.

ahh ok thnx. he will be dead. so i inject with kalk mix.

 

[clown_nut]

can anybody tell me how these thing reproduce? The aiptasia I mean. Do they split? or what

:happyfish When I had an aptasia outbreak, kalk worked great. They send out spores into the water, and babies apear everywhere, that's why they say not to cut them or snip them. Just put the kalk mix that's pasty in an injector of some kind, and put right on the mouth, enough so they grab it, and suck it in. It may be too late, and in a few months you may have 50 plus, because when they get big that's when they spew the babies. Just keep on top of them if they apear before they get big. You probably won't have an outbreak though. I'll cross my fingers for ya. Good luck, ali:happyfish
