Is this a good thing, poylp?

They actually look like a button polyp but thicker like a toadstool. It has a green mouth in the center.

 

I found this, mine does not look like this. I will look for more info.

Here is another web page - http://www.seaslugforum.net/aiptasia.htm

Everything i am finding does not look like mine, especially in the long trunks. I am hoping it is a friendly Polyp.

I think i found them, there are not Aipastia but are similair, both are anemones that will spread. See the last two pictures on this web page. one is Aipaastia and the other is what i have (i think).

 

hmmmmmmm def. not a leather than, lol, my so called reliable lfs was wrong. I guess u answered your own question Malachi

 

a home taken picture of this parasite(aptaisia)

 

Now comes the tough part, i have Xenia, shrooms, and a BTA. So butterfly fish would be rulled out, what about a Copper Band Butterfly Fish, aren't they reef safe? Next option is to posion them. or could i just rip them off with tweezers?

 

Hey Malachi,
I wouldn't rip them off, you might find they come off harder than you think. They will shrivel up to a nub you could scrap at at best. Then each little piece you miss has the potential to become another little anemone!
I saw some where DR. Foster and Smith or maybe Marine Depot a product called stop aptasia. It is sold with a syringe you have to buy separate or get one from a drug store or diabetic.
You shoot this stuff into the disk and in a while you can then take the anemone off clean with no traces.
DISCLAIMER:
I have never used this product and do not know how well it works but I have seen it and was just letting you know about it.
I had a problem with these anemones. I tried the hot water syringe method this DID NOT work well at all!
I wish you well with them and hope this helps

 

Ive also heard that injecting them w/ vinager or kalk will get rid of them in a heart beat

 

I use a 50%/50% mixture of hot water and muriatic acid. Works lika a charm on aiptasia. 2 years of expeirence and no harm to the tank.

Others are professing great results with Joes Juice.

You have several options, eh?
