Isaka Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Hi, I put the live rock/sand in my tank 2 days ago and have noticed 2 small (maybe dime size in width) brownish orangish anenomes. Surprisingly they seem to be doing well, both of them have moved close to an inch to find a place they liked and are opened up nicely and swaying in the current. My question, are these going to be ok later on down the road? I am sorry but I don't have a digital camera otherwise this would be in the ID forum, hehe. Thanks for any help. Link to comment
Pigup Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 they could be nuisance anemones, they reproduce quickly and have a killer sting, check for a positive ID somehow to see if ya need to pull em out. Link to comment
Orange Crush Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 do a search for aptasia, or aiptasia. Sounds like what you've got. Link to comment
blk_g20 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 does it have rings around the tenticles? Link to comment
Isaka Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 yep, was aptasia. Glad I found out sooner rather than later. I got em both taken out. Thanks for the advise. Link to comment
