Is this Aiptasia on the bottom of my coral frag? They look different than the frag coral, but not quite as “wispy” as aiptasia usually is.

Ya know, I'm no expert here, but those look like palys to me. If you're not familiar with these little dudes (if they are those at all), they are highly toxic. Like potential death to a human toxic. Until it's ruled out be extremely careful.

Appreciate the heads up. I barehanded them into the tank last night, but survived the night. Lol. Maybe dodged a bullet and will use gloves when I get them to final home.

Not aiptasia, I am 100% certain since I feed my berghia nudibranchs that I breed aiptasia I stare at aiptasia all day long. Looks like you got some free zoas.

thats actually what I was guessing they were. The heads are very defined similiar to Zoa or Paly
