henningero Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I recently purchased an in tank refugium and got a bag of "macro algae" from my LFS. It's been in for a few days now, and when I moved my ball of algae to the side to mix it up a little, I found this little bugger stuck to the acrylic inside the 'fuge. It retracts if I get close to it. Any ideas? Is it Majano or Aptaisia, or something else? Quote Link to comment

Maybe a nice snuff film is in order. 1 Quote Link to comment
henningero Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 I guess I'll pull it out and toss it. Hopefully there are no others hanging out in the algae. I'll have to properly thank my LFS as well... Quote Link to comment

henningero Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Too late. It managed to find a small crevice in a piece of LR rubble. I picked it out and threw it into the trees next to my house! Let's see if the trees start being overrun with Aptaisia... Quote Link to comment
dling Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Isn't it amazing . The things we want in our tanks are hard to keep alive. Then you run across the glass anemone and you can't killum. Kinda funny how that works. Quote Link to comment
