hello and Thanks for your help.

i just got few pieces of live rock and snails from a person shutting down his tank.

the rock was nice and purple but found this anenome.....
in pic 1a you can even see the middle (mouth)
hope its not aiptasia. shakes but doesn't hide on touch.
my pepperment shrimp haven't even gone near it.

Pic 2a is a small snail on glass. when i turn lights on it goes to the sand.
any idea of what kind of snail?

pic 3 is what i think is turban snail (or is it asteria) correct me if i am wrong.


Good or bad ??? :confused:

Looks like either a condy or a long tentacle nem. Once he starts feeling better you'll be able to tell what he is better. I'd put money on a long tentacle.
 
Is there any way to confirm for sure?
If its anemone or aiptasia.

Or I just kill it and move forward....

Plz Id snail too..
 
Is the small snail pyramid snail or baby nassarius snail?

They stay near the bitten at day time but don't burrow under the sand. After lights are turned off I saw one on the glass and other on my snail.

??
 
Ok so I decided to kill it.
Would lemon work??
Should I do it in the tank or take the rock out???

Thanks everyone for ur help.
 
It's aiptasia. Nuke it with kalk or joes juice... If it comes staight back it is a anenome. Although they are both anenomes.
 
So should I nuke :) it in the tank or pitot in my hospital tank for few days and do that.
When do I know it's dead?

But why r my peppermint shrimp attacking it?

In the tank, feed kalk slowly to the mouth and let it implode. youtube will show how to nuke them.


YouTube good at that lol :)
 
The small snail is out when light turned off. When I turn lights on it hides. Does not burrow in sand but has snout like nassarius snail.
