New setups - Identify this?

[brains613]

Hey guys, I recently joined after setting up two small tanks. I've had aquariums before, even a large saltwater tank about 10 years ago. Here's what I need help with. I bought some live rock and put it in the tank, after a couple days, I started to see what's pictured below. (At one point, I thought I saw it on the glass!) My questions:

 

1.) What do I have here?

2.) How do I take care of it?

 

Now the pictures:

aptasia anemones

Oh! So I don't actually WANT to take care of it. Cool. That would explain why I saw one on the glass, and why I think the rock now has several in different places. Looks like I should grab some peppermint shrimp.

Do you want peppermint shrimp? Because they are fussy. I've had 1 out of 4 that like eating the anemones.

 

I prefer Joe's Juice to get rid of them. They think its food, So they don't retract.

[Tamberav]

Skip peps unless you want them. They can steal food and harass corals and don't always eat the nems.

 

Boiling water in a syringe will kill them.

[Dreichler]

ya i would avoid any natural way of killing them, like using shrimps. i took this road one time and spent days trying to get them out after they wouldn't even look at aiptasia even though they were pretty much on top of it... get some Red Sea Aiptasia X

[Clown79]

Skip the peppermints. They don't always eat aips and often go after corals.

2 decimated 3 brains in my tank and never touched aips.

 

Aiptasia x works on them far better than the shrimp

[ninjamyst]

just know u may have to try aiptasia X a couple of times. make sure you really get into their mouth

[PwnMe]

You can follow any of our suggestions. They all work pretty well.

HI!

Do you think this is Aptasia also? It recently showed up in my tank but a number of my corals fell through some rocks so I thought it was a coral. Thoughts?

[Hammerstone]

I think that's another pest anenome, majano?
