aiptasia

I’m hoping someone can ID this from a video. I realize videos don’t seem to work well on iOS and the picture won’t do it justice. The creature is sessile, it’s been there a little while now although looks like it’s spread a bit. It looks like tiny filamentous strands with little balls at the...

It is. Thanks for the help

Hope everyone is doing well. I have decided to restart my saltwater journey with a bigger aquarium (will read more articles and advice on this forum :)). not sure if I should keep anything from this one, don't want to move over any parasites (aiptasia). Really disappointed and sad. Live and...

Hello All. I am very new to salt Water aquariums. I have had this tank set up now for 3 months or so. The tank just has soft corals in it and i did go to my LFS today to check my DKH levels as i did neglect the tank for a month due to family issues and the DKH is 7 which i am now sorting out...

This GSP frag attached to the backwall has been in the tank ~3-4 weeks, the little critter in question seemed to be attached to the GSP. It looked similar in color to the purple mat of the GSP, so I thought it was the GSP stretching to grow onto the back wall. Today the little guy has moved...

Ive been dealing with aiptasia for months on end, I'd say around 7 months. I first used the Red Sea aiptasia x, as I was advised to do so by my local fish shop (who coincidentally introduced this into my tanks!) it didn't work, they all spread, they got huge, they reproduced and now that entire...

This is literally just to sate my curiosity because I like asking questions - I don't have aiptasia nor majano in my tank so I don't need help eradicating it. Anyway, I have a few pest 'nem questions! I know I could just google these, but I would rather ask people who are actually passionate...

Hello Everyone, I am doing a science research project in Highschool. I am currently working on creating a project outline on extracting the symbiodinium from samples of Aiptasia Pallida and introducing said symbiodinium to bleached zoanthid fragments. With the hopes of reviving the fragments...

I have 2 or 3 creatures growing in crevasses in a rock. These are 1/4 of an inch wide and look more to me like a baby Hammer than an Aiptasia. (See attached video) It seems to have near transparent tentacles with a small ball at the end. It grows very close to the rock and does not seem to have...

Found this guy on a small chunk of liverock I just added to my nano tank last night. Is this an aiptasia? I've already removed the rock it is on from the tank just in case, but if it isn't aiptasia I'd like to add it back since that stuff is expensive. I don't usually use live rock so I'm...

Hi all! I have seen baby aiptasia pop up in my tank very infrequently, I usually spot about 1-2 a week (if any at all) and I’m a person with really good eyesight. These baby aiptasia have always been on a rock or frag that I was able to pull out and treat out of water, however in this case, I...

5 for $40. Located in Broomfield. They have eaten every last aiptasia, so time to find them new aiptasia infested homes. Pick up only.

Does anyone know any alternatives to an emerald crab?I am trying to avoid emerald crabs, I was wanna get a coral banded shrimp but I know peppermint shrimp would eat the Aipstasia, I bought a frag that had some of both on it, I didnt really think much at the time but now I know what aipstasia...

Hi all! As stated, I think something is eating all my poor berghia. I’ve got a 29g mixed reef with an ever growing aiptasia problem so I got me some nudi’s, 10 to be exact. Now, this is actually my second time buying berghia because my first 6 all appear to have gone missing. Not like “oh yeah...

I have a lot of tiny aiptasia popping up around my tank (presumably from the last exile of the big aiptasia). I have used aiptasia-x on the last aiptasia almost a year ago. Now, my family members have pointed out that you can see many of them around the tank with a magnifying glass, they’re very...

My berghia have done their job, no aiptasia left, so looking to recoup some of what I paid for them and get them a new home. $12 each. Pick up only, located just north of Denver.

Is this 100% Aiptasia? I already have a peppermint shrimp I just got in the tank.

- hey do you have aiptasia? I'm hungry. Yes I would like to buy a shrimp to attempt killing aiptasia. Its a hit and miss, yes, I read the disclaimer. I'm in south carolina upstate.

Just noticed this and I think he has a little friend. Is this the start of aiptasia or is like a feather duster?

So I got 3 Berghia Nudiabranchs about an month ago and I put them into my tank to deal with Aiptasia and the Aiptasia amount has not been decreasing and I have not seen my Berghia Nudiabranchs since I added them. What do I do because I really need the Aiptasia gone but everything I have tried...

Can anyone tell me if I add an Australian Stripey to my tank, will eat eat my Berghia population? Bergia are breeding, but with such an infestation, they’re taking forever.

Hi Everyone, So I'm a newbie both here and to SW Fish. Aquired a 300ltr tank complete with rock, some fish, inverts and coral. Unlucky for me it has Aiptasia. I've read all the treatments but for one reason or another I don't think they're safe/practical. Is it possible to cut my corals...

Hello everybody. I haven't been on here for a while and that will also show with my tank. I have had the bubble algae issue for a long time. Probably 1 year with the aiptasia issue. I would go in and remove as much bubble algae and pulsing xenia as I could and I would forget about the tank again...
