    For sure!! That is Aiptasia. I would kill it immediately. I hate aiptasia. I hear majanos are worse. EeEkkk. I really feel for ya. I knew they spread, but thats ridiculous! Sympathy karma to you :(

    That is aptasia, and they are really annoying. Im currently battling them myself. Ive tried several things: squirting them with bioling water, injecting them with vinegar using a diabetic syringe, kalk paste and even epoxy. But the one thing that takes them out for sure: a wind proof lighter or small blow torch. Every one of them I have torched has never come back. Otherwise, Ive had some luck with injecting them with vinegar, but it doesnt always work.

    So did you pull the rock out and then simply burn them off? I have a few that my peppermint wont touch. It did take care of at least 50 of them though probably burned out on apty meat.
