What is this? and is it bad?

[michaelchunn]

This seems to be abundant in my tank. Some people say it's bad. Anyone know what this is and is it bad?

It seems to love shrimp also. It will grab a floating feeder shrimp and gobble it up.

Looks like Aptasia Anemones to me (although it could be Mojano Anemones). Either way, both are considered pests in your tank (spread quickly, and can kill small animals). To get rid of it, most people get a hypodermic needle filled with kalkwasser, lemon juice, or products called Joe's Juice or Aptasia X. They inject it directly into the stalk. Use the search function and type "Aptasia". Once yours are gone, get a couple peppermint shrimp to keep them at bay.

Hi,
I never heard of aphasia eating a shrimp, stinging a coral to death yes, but gobbling a shrimp???

Get some Joe's Juice and kill it now. It will only spread from here.
