Unknown coral showed up in reef

[Paradune33]

Hi Everyone! My reef tank has been established for about 8 months with no new additions. This little guy just showed up out of no where. Can someone help me Identify this?

That is the rare aiptasia coral.

haha, no joke, that actually worked for me. only because i had easy access to my rock work and could get them out and back in within a few minutes.

glass nems are no match for the dreaded benzomatic.

tried the x, the joes, kalk paste, mojano wand and all would come back with a vengeance.

when was the last new additions? if it were 8 months ago you are looking at a lot of those little guys lol.

chaeto/macroalgae could also be the source of introduction of this pest!

destroy with extreme prejudice

Yeah get rid fast I ended up with a tank full until I got a file fish which wiped them out. If you have only got one get some aptasia x and inject the little ****[emoji4]

Way back in the early days. 80’s I bought a piece of LR with Aptasia so I can have this anemone in my tank. How things have change.

mikee b said it perfectly

Kill it quick and look out for any more. They quickly become and issue and can over run a tank. Anyone remember the memeber with an overflow packed full of aptasia? He called it his aptasia scrubber lol.
