Saltwater Aquarium Anemones for Marine Reef Aquariums: Long Tentacle Anemone aka corkscrew anemone

 

not aiptasia?

 

Thats what I think aiptasia

 

Agreed' KILL it ( fill syringe / pipett ) squirt into mouth with
Kalk' , say last rights , lol

If you don't kill it , those things will propagate to plaque praportions , and those little tenticles do sting/harm other corals
some consider them "neat" , i consider them a nusence and ugly , they have nothing to offer but trouble , ( their the nasty ugly form of weeds )

You'll find these things surviving all over uncurred rock , large populations in a tank are a sign of over feeding and poor tank maintanace
if you have 1 you will soon have lots more ' watch as use the "prescribed" method above to rid your self of these little nasty critters


2, a six line wrasse have been known to nip and eat the "small" baby ones , and not a bad addition to the tank
( when its done cycleing of course )

 

no it wont host your clowns, but rather eat them, unless killed :-/

if it doesnt sting me when i touch it, can i just pull him out?

 

also, im pretty sure that live rock was a peice from a man that i got it from, and said he had 3 curly q anemones, is that a possibility?
