r u sure its aiptasia? I mean dont you think my shrimp would have eaten it plus nothing new has been introduced into the tank in over a year. I am letting it just sit and mature before I put a fu mancho or dwarf fuzy

So no possible way it could be a rock coral? In some of my other pictures in my nano tank post it looks kinda like a rock coral... I know it sounds like i am just holding on for hope BUT i have not introduced anything new into the tank in over a year and i clean it every week so i am sure I would have seene it atleast once. Last week i even said 2 my self, man that's awesome where did i get that rock coral from.....
thanks guys for the help!

it may be too big for him to eat or he may be waiting and saving it for a rainy day
Some pep's eat them, some don't. One thing is for sure: if they are going to eat it.. They don't waste any time savoring it, lol.

i don't think that's true.....i had apt's in my tank and it took a couple months for him to eat it....after that....i never had a problem again....now he just died so i will see if they pop up again.
Also if he has a food source...flakes or whatever ...he has no incentive to eat them......try not feeding the peppermint.

I dont know how you missed them but in your nano thread there is another one right under the snail in one of your pictures. I'll bet if you look hard you'll find more too.

besides you stated as of last month that you bought the tank some rock lights etcetera...... how that translates into a year I'll never know.

hate to be the bearer of bad news like that but at least now you can take steps to eradicate them.

I use lemon juice, some use KALK paste, some use stop aiptasia or joes juice, some use fish, or shrimp, there are quite a few ways.

sure they are great filter feeders but will sting corals and such. and if someone is selling aiptasia on the bay they are looking for a sucker
