Jmifland Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I bought some live rock from Tampa Bay Saltwater and I found this. What exactly is it and should I remove it or let it go about its business? When I placed the rock into the tank it had a large base that looked like an anemone. I assume it will relocate eventually if it is an anemone. Link to comment
Jmifland Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 I want to know what it is before I kill it I looked on google images and found something close and it says aiptasia but it doesn't look like any aiptasia I've ever seen. It is kind of cool looking. Aiptasia that I'm used to seeing at the LFS is stringy and nasty looking. The base was a clerish white. Now I'm finding a few pictures that look similar when I search for rock anemones. Link to comment
Acielot Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 It's just a rock anemone. They don't get much more colorful beyond that. One of the more common species down here. Link to comment
Jmifland Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Then should I just leave it be just to keep the natural look or will it mess with corals? Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I'd keep it. Neat animal. Just be careful with coral placement. Link to comment
