    Not all aiptasia are brown.
    Really have to adjust pics if you're only using actinics, otherwise it's going to be virtually impossible to ID stuff for you.

    it depends on the size, the larger they are the more they turn brown whereas the tiny ones are clear.

    Pretty much, though I did have some larger ones that were more clear. I think it depends on feeding. The pic I posted was from my old 3 gallon tank that never had a fish in it (well, except the filefish I got to eat them LOL), so it didn't get much food put in. The ones in my old 10 gallon, on the other hand, were more brown and I fed a damsel and a huge hermit in there.
