aiptasia

I was about to do a water change when I saw these guys in the back of my tank. I need to be certain if this is aiptasia as this is not to be taken lightly if untaken care of it will over run my tank. If they are feather dusters I will leave them alone. The tank has been up and running about 2...

Checking on my sump and these are starting to pop up. Is it Aiptasia and if so, what's your best suggestion to get rid of?

Not sure if they are feather dusters or aiptasia but fairly confident it’s a worm. I am new so looking for any clarification before I put into my display. Thanks. First post. Lurker for long. Finally starting to get hands in reefing.

Sounds weird, I know. I’m culturing the nudis that eat them. Will FOWLR lights grow them? If not, what do y’all suggest? Thanks in advance.

Is this aiptasia? I've never fragged a coral before. Am I right in thinking I can cut the base of this leather toadstool to remove the plug area where the aiptasia is n discard. And then super glue the toadstool to a rock fragment. I want to check before I accidentally kill the toadstool. Thanks...

Okay, so I noticed something truly mind blowing today. A little history: I’ve been keeping reef tanks for over twenty years, but was without a tank for roughly two years until Jan of this year. In Jan I set up a new Nanocube and it’s been going pretty great. I used probably 2/3 dry rock and 1/3...

Hello everyone! I have a barely used majano wand I’m looking to sell. I’m asking $100 shipped, but will haggle on the price if necessary. This thing cleared out my aiptasia problem quickly, so I have no more use for it. The tip is in great shape with no rust or bend. Dm me to purchase.

What would you do in this situation? I'm out of ideas, and at the end of my rope..... My 210G tank is COVERED in aiptasia.... i mean literally Thousands of them. and some of them are LARGE, like larger than my hammer corals polyps, and in every corner, on almost every coral, and they seem to be...

Hoping all you fine people can help me out and let me know if this is aiptasia on the left side of this frag? It looks somewhat different from pictures online.

I've had my tank setup for almost 8 months now. Live rock came from Tampa Bay Saltwater back in September 2020. These guys have been around for a while and at first we were happy to have some anemones, but the more research I do I start to think they are Aiptasia... but really large ones! I...

Hi all, i hope you're well? Asking on behalf of a friend (thank goodness!) Is this aiptasia? Its about 2" long. I've looked up other pests and looks like online they are only small but this is a giant! Thanks:)

I'm finally getting around to introducing myself. I have had a reef tank in my garage since we moved back to southern California in 2007. I've had tanks much of my life but I've never wanted to automate them as I prefer to tinker. I'm thinking about changing and getting a reef controller or just...

Found this towards the bottom of my live rock. It's very small and a reddish brown color. Do you think it's aiptasia?

Theres around 4 anemones scattered in my tank that seem to fit every visual I’ve seen for aiptasia and I can’t seem to find what else it could be. They all were there within about a month of getting the tank, but now, somewhere around 6 months later, they haven’t spread at all. My fish also swim...

I’ve noticed 3 of these in my tank I’ve tried using aiptasia x on this and it didn’t work but this thing has a hard skeleton body. If someone could identify this for me it would be really helpful to know what next steps I have to take to get rid of it

https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/first-aiptasia-sighting-what-would-you-do.808233/page-2#post-8647852 notice in the thread the surface with aiptasia was removed from the reef, and what was beside the aiptasia frag was taken off and moved back onto the reef allowing the aiptasia + the surface...

Hi everyone, I am a new reefer and new to reef2reef. After cycling my tank and adding my first fish, I thought it was finally time to take the plunge into corals. I bought a beautiful green ricordea covered rock from LFS, unfortunately though it has also come with bristle worms, and whatever...

This is my first go at the saltwater hobby, I bought a Red Sea Nano 20 a little over 2 weeks ago. I bought live rock live sand and the saltwater from a local fish store. Tanks been running over 2 weeks now and these guys showed up a few days after I was up and running. It is all over one live...

Hey Y'all We know hobbyists want Matted filefish that eat already Aiptasia, so we feed our matted filefish aiptasia and hydroids weekly so they can recognize them in your tanks. Check out the GoPro video below. If you have a huge Aiptasia problem I recommend a few of these guys with our...

Just noticed this on a frag that's been in the tank for about a month. I haven't seen them anywhere else in the tank so I guess it came on the frag, but just now noticing it. Can anyone help ID what this is on the base of this hammer?

Hey all, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned somewhere before but I thought I'd share a little trick I learnt the other day. I have aiptasia at the back of the Reefer250 which is a bit far to reach so while looking online for longer needles I couldn't really find what I needed until I...

I bought some wet live rock to start bio filtration quicker, and found this guy on him. What is it?

Hello. I recently saw this in my tank. No new additions coral wise for at least 2 months. Only new fish about a month ago. I have feather dusters on a rock across the tank. It’s in a difficult place to reach and can’t get anything near them to see if they retract

Just noticed it tonight but coming from underneath the piece of live rock that my new (as of 3 days ago) cauliflower colt coral (which I did do a coral dip for) is this greenish brown thing that was more "open" when I first spotted it and started hiding when I starting lighting it up with a...

About a month ago, I purchased a small frag of trumpet coral. In what I thought was simply a skeleton of a polyp, emerged a lil aiptasia. I was going to carve it out, until I read that they release spores, so I decided to superglue the dickens outta him. Whether he poked out of a smaller crack...
