ReefWeeds Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hitchiker coral, need to know what it is. http://m.imgur.com/Aezhib9 It's not a coral. It's an aiptasia anemone and a pest. You're going to want to get it out of your tank. If you search aiptasia in the forum here there will be lots of advice on how to kill it. Link to comment

You better listen to your own advice Yep Fishy get some aptasia X and zap it......its a common problem we all get to deal with. Link to comment
Nola Bear Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 +1. And if you want a natural predator, you can look into peppermint shrimp or berghia nudibranch, etc... Link to comment
Muraki Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 If you can pull the rock out of the tank, just scrape it off with a tooth brush and rinse the area with freshwater. Link to comment
Newstead Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 If you can pull the rock out of the tank, just scrape it off with a tooth brush and rinse the area with freshwater. Then glue over the area it was in -I have had them come back if I didn't. Link to comment
Clown79 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Use aiptasia x. You take a risk with peppermint shrimp, they may not eat it and may go after corals. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 +1. And if you want a natural predator, you can look into peppermint shrimp or berghia nudibranch, etc... The problem with the berghias is you need a bunch of aiptasia in the tank for them to work. they only eat aiptasia so with only one in the tank, that berghia will probably die in short order before it finds it.
