Aiptasia is my guess.

 

[hijinks]

looks like aiptasia

 

[KathyC]

Not that you need a 3rd person to confirm it is aptasia...do you know how to kill it?

 

[MisterTickle]

No but it ain't that big, Do I have to kill it or is it going to rip apart my tank and suck the lifeforce?

 

[dubs]

that looks like mojano to me

 

[hijinks]

they will spread.. invest the tank if not taken care of

 

[MisterTickle]

Well.. How can I "take" care of it?

 

[hijinks]

i used a product called aiptasia x

 

[SevTT]

Well.. How can I "take" care of it?

Kalk.

Pull the rock out, taking note of which hole the aptasia is coming out of, then pack kalk into the hole. You don't need very much, less than half a teaspoon. Then just place the rock back in the tank.

 

[MisterTickle]

Tried googling, What is "Kalk" and can you give me a link to what I need?

kalkwasser powder.LFS should carry it..dont take the rock out.when it opens up use something like a syringe or small baster to squeeze some in its mouth when its opened.mix the kalk with water till its pastey

 

[Bertdog]

i didn't think of it much when i first saw it in my reef tank. it has gone wild on my tank the aiptasia-x does work great but they do still come back , so take it from a very frustrated person take care of it NOW even if you have to take that rock out

I've had success with white vinegar+ a syringe. 2 came back in the same spot, but I think they may have started to close before the vinegar had gotten into their mouths. Definitely turn the pump off while you're injecting, though. Good luck!
