Hey all -
My tank has been running for about a year now, it is my 30. I never have had any problems with pests, hitch hikers, algae, etc...BUT I have one of these things growing. Its about .5" right above the mushrooms.
I'm almost positive its supposed to be removed, but i cant be sure. Also, how do I remove it?

Thanks!!!

Aiptasia. A solid direct squirt with Kalk slurry will kill it.

You could also try lemon juice with a syringe and needle from some place like Tractor Supply. Didn't do crap to my majanos though.

if the above doesn't work, epoxy is my failsafe!

Mrs. Wager's solution spurted on it. Keep it off you other stuff.

But yes. Kalk (lime water) slurry as I already said.
