Is this aptasia

[abrahamavelar]

Hey how are you guys? So far with every coral that is e added o made sure to dip and make sure didn't had parasites or anything that wasn't supposed to now on this gsp as it was going I removed it from the plug and glued it into a rock and as I checked a few hours later on it I noticed that it had some tentacles looking thing attached to it's foot, can't really get a clear picture this is the best I could please help

Yep aptasia. Nearly impossible not to have these introduced. Easier too kill when small. If not careful they can't multiple quickly. I was always a superglue guy but I like F Aptasia. Peppermint shrimp if you have no coral as I don't trust them.

Aiptasia-x and an ORA filefish is all I've had success with them. Peppermints supposedly have only specific sub species that consume them and I've never had any success with them. Just use a product like that to get rid of it or boiling water/lemon juice to get rid of it. Or if on a small rock, just remove it.

It was on the foot or a piece of the thing that the gsp attaches to so I just clipped it

You didn't cut the anemone did you? These are glass anemone. When they break they throw off shards of themselves that then grow into new aiptasia.

No I took the rock with the gsp out of the water and cut a piece of the gsp far from where the anemone was

Ok. Hopefully that did the trick for you.

It did, do you know if the purple star polyp grow as fast as gsp?

Coral will grow as fast as they are able.
