Aptasia

[s70]

I just found this last night on a rock and immediately moved out. Is this Aptasia?
If yes, get a filefish? Or dose with something? In a bit of a rush so haven’t done the research and figured this is fastest way to get answers.

If theres no coral on the small rock i would just remove it and scrape it off under some tap water.
If you want to keep it in the tank, i highly recommend franks F aiptasia to cover them up and smother them to death. Stay away from red sea aiptasia X, it does nothing but tick them off.

Agree. . . place it container and dig it out with an ice pickor tiny screwdriver or. . . . Using syringe, inject either lemon juice or better yet. . kalkwasser powder mixed with tank water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste and inject into the very center core and it will melt away
