I was hoping it is but I don’t think it is. The zoas glow pretty well under the blues and this is almost invisible.it does appear so, noticed that you have some zoas that look like it, could it one of those?
It was aptasia I’ve pulled it out was able to get a grip on it with my tongs. Usually I pull the rock and scrape them off. I’ve not had to use aptasia x or anything yet.ok so it is not a zoa. it does look like a aptasia, just making sure you dont roast you coral. yeah probably aptasia, i am assuming you know how to deal with?

Ordered some haha. Thanks!!i wouldnt do that, as if a little bit is left, they can survive and overcome your tank quite quickly, i would make a kalk slurry and turkey baster it on the little b*st*rd.
Looks like Aptastia unfortunately. But do yourself a favor and order some Bhergia nudibranchs. It will help keep the problem at bay before it even takes off. Don't do what I did and try to kill it on your own haha:Hello all. I have spotted this. I have had aptasia before but it’s always been really thin and this is very chunky. Sorry for the poor picture quality I cannot get the camera to focus when it’s zoomed in this far.View attachment 3059971View attachment 3059972View attachment 3059973View attachment 3059975
Perfect thanks! I did read somewhere that they’ll die if there’s no aptasia for them to eat though. I’ve only got one as far as I can see and don’t want to be cruel by putting one in and it starving.Looks like Aptastia unfortunately. But do yourself a favor and order some Bhergia nudibranchs.

You’re completely right, they only eat aptasia and will starve if you don’t have a steady supply. If you’re interested in animal control, peppermint shrimp also eat aptasia, as well as other detritus so they can be a fun addition to your tank that will address aptasia but won’t starve when it’s gone, assuming you have fish and feed them regularly.Perfect thanks!
