Surprise!
I got up this morning and discovered that a rock had fallen and moved into a new position. To my surprise there was something growing on the back of it. Don't know what it is so I am posting the pic. Anyone?

Looks like aiptasia and not something desirable in your tank. If you do a general search for aiptasia, you should find tons of info on how to remove it.

Holy Hydrometers ! I just found one of those in my biocube about two weeks ago.
Needless to say, he's still around. I didn't give it too much thought till about 7 minutes ago.

Joes Juice works for me. But they keep coming back eventually in different spots. I have also had luck with peppermint shrimp (although your aiptasia looks pretty big) they rid my tank of aiptasia but then end up dying off themselves. I'm thinking maybe my cleaner shrimp kill them.

I'm getting half-*** tempted to take the rock out of the tank, and chisle off the part of the rock where this thing is growing. I was just reading that using a BBQ lighter and burning the thing for about 20 seconds will also do the trick.
How stupid is either idea ?
