Started growing from inside a hole in a clam shell. It’s growing bigger.

Thanks. My first! I’ve been reading a lot of posts about how to get rid of them, but can I just take it out of the tank?

Just be careful not to bang it around too much when you remove it. They can release offspring when they sense a threat. They spread like wildfire and most who get them will always have them. Just one more thing to manage periodically. If you are really lucky and that is the only one, and you can remove the shell its on permanently, you MIGHT not see anymore.

Yeah definitely aptasia I would recommend red sea aptasia-x or nudibranchs
Crazy coincidence but I placed an order for different CUC’s and one is a nudi! I placed the order two days ago and just found this today.
And yes I took it out. Not waiting for the nudi since it was a very easy eviction.
