Hey,
Photo is a bit blurry but it looks like it. Does it retract real fast if you touch it with a probe? (I wouldn't use your finger on this one.) Anyway, if it is aptaisia, yes you should remove it.

Yes it does, here is 1 more pic.

Hey,
If it's just attached to your cc in the fuge I'd just take a small net and scoop it out along with the cc it's attached to. You're lucky it's not on lr. In case that ever happens to you, I've filled a turkey baster with boiling water and slowly squirted it into the hole the aptaisa retreated into. Presto. One cooked critter with no damage to surrounding corals.
HTH,
Dan'l

Well I just moved its little rock that it was on and it did not like that so move onto the buttom of the tank and is moving somewhere else. What is apitasa and why is it so bad?:thinking:

 

[saltymom]

its an ugly type of anneome ..its brown...it spreads like wildfire...and will sting other corals

 

[saltymom]

heres a big one..we sucked it outta its hole with a wet dry vacc..
You can do what ya want..but if its in your sump..they will probably end up in your display tank too. Once they are in your LR they are hard to get all of them out.
