    In new live rock from LFS.

    I have two of these on the rock we selected for the refugium.

    Yeah, was afraid of that.

    I think I will put it in my hospital until I know what.

    I'm going with aiptasia, I'd fry the buggers with a torch and then superglue over their hole to be safe.

    I started my tank on Sunday and on Monday I noticed one of these too. I got aiptasia x from my local store and used it right away. It went away ASAP and now I'm wondering if there will be more? I hope I will not have a problem with these in the future and that it didn't have time to reproduce and the aiptasia x worked!

    I had a huge amount like 100+ in my 90 and put in a Copperband and I might have 10 left

    I tried Berghias and they were gone for awhile but I must have brought in some with a piece of coral from my LFS....and had a high nutrient load at the time and Bam off they went....manager at the LFS said get a Copperband....they had 2 large gorgous ones that were both healthy and eating frozen too....so I got the happiest looking one and in he went....well he also likes feather dusters, xmas tree worms in my worm rock and then after those he devoured the aptasia and continues hunting for them

    Cheaper than Beghia's
