Aiptasia in chaeto

[franx]

I got a ball of chaeto from reef cleaners a little over a week ago, and yesterday noticed this unwelcome guest. I managed to pull it out along with a bunch of the surrounding chaeto, but should just I be discarding the whole thing? Is it already too late?

I have them in my fuge to. I kill a few off in there periodically but aptasia are like ants. They just show up unexpectedly here and there and mess up your day.

It’s probably already too late. It’s almost impossible to prevent them unless you are willing to quarantine everything wet you add to your tank.

C’est la vie, had to happen eventually I suppose. At least I might as well keep the rest of the chaeto! I’ll just keep my eyes peeled.
