I have this I believe is a coral multiplying at a fast rate. Also they move
from one place to another, making me believe is an anemone.
I don't think is aiptasia, but I could be wrong. They are two types, one
with the base green and no coloration on tentacles, and the other one is
the opposite.
On the first pic you can see they are stretching to divide.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ruben

Looks like it could be some sort of Mojano anemone.

I agree, looks lik a Mojano, PITA to get rid of....try some Joe's Juice, didn't work on mine...but they say it should. I added some peppermint shrimp and they seem to be keeping the numbers down some. i don't see as many new ones any more. I don't think they multiply by pedal laceration (but don't quote me on that) so you could try just scraping them off. I sometimes just rub them real hard with my finger and someone always comes by and eats whats still hanging there. Whatever you do get rid of them....they will plague you like aptaisa, or worse.

From the images they do look like mojano. They are a complet pain. They will sting other animal in you tank. Joe’s juice or blue vet Aiptasia control will work. If you can pull out the rock that they are attached to and give them a long Klasswasser dip for about 15 to20 minutes. That did work better then injecting each one by hand. Get them early because they will spread fast.

I start with 3 and they multiply to 9, I removed the rocks leaving only 2 in the tank, which are attached to a huge rock, making it hard to get them.

I notice it is hard to scrap them from the rock, but I did. Any chances of spreading them if a tiny piece is left in the rock?
How long do they live out of the water?

Thanks,

Ruben
