little tiny anemones on LR

[tdog]

i bought some base rock and they now have small small 1/4 inch long white and tan tiny anemoes coming out of them . what are these? are they good to have w/ percs cause thats waht i am getting when im done cycling

sounds like aiptasia...they are considered a nuisance anemone...peppermint shrimp will usually eat them and u can get rid of them that way. they are not a hosting anemone.

Yea I agree with the above post. Sounds like they might be the nasty aiptasia.
I too live in wpb. Where did you get the rock from?

oceans below in npb. way overpriced but close to home. do i need to get rid of them. they are pretty cool to look at.

i also notice these "anemones" on my lr. I dunno if they're anemones or star polyps. Mine are brilliant white and i know that they're not aiptasia. Does anyone have these?
