Hi all, just wondering as all my others are white. Tank is at day 21 of cycle.

I don't see a picture

Nvm just saw it, that looks to be aiptasia

 

[Willba200]

What is that?

 

[Willba200]

Is it good?

 

[bribo12]

Pest anemone, can spread like wildfire. Burn it...no jk but really it is bad. You want to inject it with lemon juice or hot water right in it's mouth. Don't try and rip it off, that will cause it to spread faster,

Boil up some r.o and use my kids cal pol injector( clean it fist though) ??

That should be fine, just clean it first.

 

[Willba200]

Thanks for advice, do I then leave it?

 

[bribo12]

Yeah after you inject it in it's mouth it should shrivel and die, just make sure to poke right into it's mouth or it will come back.

I would suggest get lemon juice on the mouth before injecting. They can release spores when attacked that will cause more to grow.

 

[Willba200]

I take it it's mouth is in the centre?

 

[Willba200]

Will lemon not affect the water quality?

 

[Dav3]

It may lower the ph some but should be negligible if you are only using a little with a syringe.

You an always pull the rock out and kill it with lemon juice outside tank and then put it back in.
