Began0818 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I just purchased a Xenia about a week ago today I noticed something right at the base of it that looked like aptasia but I’m not sure if it is or new polyps of the Xenia starting new to the hobby any info helps Quote Link to comment
Garf Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 looks like aptasia to me. Quote Link to comment
Began0818 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Kinda what I thought any good advice on removing it or should I just remove the hole plug before it spreads wasn’t an expensive piece Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 If the piece the Xenia is able to come out,take it out and dab super glue over the aptasia. Quote Link to comment
Began0818 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Ya I can pull the hole rock out and do that Quote Link to comment
PicoMatt Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 It’s both. But the tiny one u are talking about is aptasia. Take out the rock and with something a bit sharp cut that piece of the rock out. Or add super glue to cover the entire little crevice it’s attached to. Don’t do any of it inside the tank. 1 Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Aptasia. Don't try to cut it out, you might cut a piece of it off that can grow into a new anemone. As the others have said, glue over it. Works great for me. Just regular superglue, not the gel kind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D_bMbscvj4&t=2s Quote Link to comment
