Please Confirm before I kill it...

I believe this is Aiptasis or Majano. I have Joe's Juice and am ready to treat it. Please confirm the ID before I do it.

As you can see, it is in the middle of a zoo colony so I am concerned about their wellfare. Thanks, John

I spotted a very little one lastnight in my tank.Tiny like the size of a pencil eraser.I was positive thats what it was when i spotted it.I waited and got my husbands opinion.He said it looked to be Aptaisia too.I just boiled some water in the microwave and used a turkey baster.It's gone now.

 

[grubsnaek]

see i tried the boiling water thing and it did nothing. i might try again to see.

ok, I dont mean to be dense. But what is it and why is it so bad? Would like to know for future reference. Thanks

 

[dajoker22]

I think it's because one shortly becomes many....

I remember my friends and I used to go to this pool hall in edmonton all the time that had this giant saltwater tank with a couple of fish....and about 10,000 smallish brown anenomes. At the time I thought it was pretty cool but in retrospect it was likely a hostile aiptasia takeover...

[funkyman]

Out of all the non livestock methods, I've had the best results with kalk paste.

 

[bronco300]

looks like a swimming anemone to me actually.
