aptasia

Dude at my LFS was *certain* it was aptasia- I have had aptasia outbreaks in my tank a handful of times over the years….i do not think this is aptasia. I’m leaning more toward Zoanthids or Palys(??) Wanted to get 2nd, 3rd opinion. Thanks in advance

Tank used to have lovely glowing (green/yellow) in the dark polyps… but red algae destroyed them. 6 mos later these guys show up. What are they? Are they the same? Difficulty: Im not home. Wife took pics when she saw them. Thank you everyone!

Hi guys, Recently started my first saltwater tank, and having difficulty identifying what pest this is. I assumed aptasia but looks different from the aptasia pictures I see online, it’s thinner and has small balls/heads at the end of each little thread… I introduced some Berghia nudibranches...

Currently breeding two Berghia nudibranchs in a small setup but am starting to run out of food for them in just two months! I’m looking to buy more so I can have a stockpile and also learn how to propagate Aptasia in a more sustainable way. In Portland OR.

Hello, I’m new to reefing and need some help. I got this daisy zoa and it came with this things growing with it. I’m hoping its not aptasia because I have used aptasia F and kinda killed alot of my clove polyps. What should I do?

Hello everyone ! I found my first aptasia on the sand bed. I figured out it came from the mushroom rock I bought a few weeks ago. The mushroom rock is ISOLATED from my main rock. I removed the aptasia along with the sand. I also removed the mushroom rock to different tank. Am I safe from...

I have several small salt water reef tanks. I started getting aptasia in the smaller one and had already decided to remove most of my corals into the other tank because the crabs seems to be bothering them. Yes, I dipped my corals before putting them into the other tank. I then purchased...

I have a 25 Gallon tank that had been ignored for some time. It is full of Aptasia right now. I am planning to start over. New sand. New Rockscape and new water. My question is, to which level should i clean the tank before starting over and making sure that none of the aptasia carry over. -...

Really curious what these are. I've searched the internet on and off endlessly over the past few months to no avail. One or two has turned to a couple dozen and I'm wondering whether I need to take action. They haven't died off like pineapple sponges usually do. They look like a cross between a...

The new thing being tried around here for aptasia is rainford butterfly fish. A local wholesaler here was told about them and he’s so far sold 5 different shipments all successful. Obviously being sold as reef safe with caution. So we are the Guinea pigs lol. Very little info on them just the...

Hey guys & gals , happy weekend, hope everyone is doing ok Recently found this growing underneath one of my scolymia, appears to be some sort of sponge / truncate but wanted to post photos just to make sure it’s not something more invasive which warrants removal Here is a photo (attached) the...

Hi all, Bought this torch and I have a question on one of the items growing out of the side? The one on the left is a filter feeder but is the one on the right aptasia? It’s sensitive to light and retracts straight away.

As the title says. I took the picture with my reef lights out using my iPhone with the flash on. Right under the head of my blasto. I’ve never had aptasia before but from what I know of it I think that might be what it is. Appreciate any input.

I spotted this on my zoa plug that I got from my lfs two days ago. Any ideas of what it could be?

Aptasia out of control. Tried peppermint, 2 filefish and Berghia. Has anyone had success w lasers or wands? If so, please give recommendations. Thx

Hi folks. I need help identifying this pests. I’ve seen them before on my DT on a few rocks, but now they are all over the place and specially on all surfaces of my sump. Please help me confirm this is aptasia or something else? Thanks

I have a my aptasia eating file fish up for grabs. I purchased it from ocean devotion as a quarantined fish a couple months ago . He ate aptasia right away even really large ones that I thought he wouldn’t touch , but also eats frozen food and pellets. The only reason I’m selling him is...

This tank has been up for almost 6 months. I bought this light maybe a year ago (CoraLife 30”-36”). Tank size - 13.5g fluval 13.5 I found out recently that I can set a (rise/fall) to mimic the sunrise and sunset. The lights are on for 10 hours (including mimicry) I have a simple reading on my...

I noticed two Aiptasia have popped up in my nano tank. It got me thinking how i could manage them. One i could easily remove the rock and super glue, the other would be more of a challenge. Knowing that this won't be my last time dealing with them, i had a random thought of a "diy" Reef Delete...

I’ve been reefing for two years and had a bunch of corals during my time but I’ve never seen aptasia in my tank. Started off with all dry rocks . i don’t quarantine any of my corals and I don’t have a specific vendor Am I lucky ? Or is there other people out there that doesn’t have it either...

Yes I have read the terms and agree to them. I have 5 Berghia nudis that are an inch long ready to go. $20 a piece plus shipping. standard 2hr DOA. I am not at fault for shipping delays but I will work with customer.
