not sure. let it open up a bit more and gain some color. it resembles the body of an aptasia anemone, but i've never seen one bleached like that. they usually keep their brown color under the worst conditions and nothing more than ambient lighting.
Anywayss just make sure not to try to pluck it or smear it off the rock, that causes them to spread more. I found that injecting them with lemon juice or just squirting it into their mouth worked, I left the current off for about 10 minutes to really let the juice soak in.
but ya if it is on a small rock I would take it out and boil the **** out of it. lol or scrub it off rinse with vinegar, then water, then put it back in.
wow I didn't know you can't say ****... hello without the o
It was 2 fragments,one had the aiptasia the other marjano, the biggest one was about 3 inches wide. It worked but it also pretty much killed everything else on the rock, it's as if I bleached it. At least they were small and the little pests are gone and no more plaggng my tank.
To me it looked like something that I have in my tank and thought it might be an aiptasia but it turned out to be xenia. The tentacles seem to be a little thick on it to be an aiptasia and I don't see a mouth, I would have waited like mr X said.
