Aiptasia?

[WaterPond]

I was told this was Aiptasia. Wanted a second opinion. It looks similar but not the same. It hitch hiked on a new coral i bought. Yesterday i spotted about 3 of them around the coral, now i count seven. I ordered some joe's juice.

Just wanted to make sure thats what it is.:

No expert, but I've had aptasia and that doesn't really look like it. I'd say you actually have some type of hydroid there, but let's see what others think...

I agree with Kurt. Not aptasia.

Great, so i have COLONIAL HYDROIDS and i have joes juice on the way which wont get rid of them.

Hey... but at least you have it when you DO have aptasia!

I've got some hydroids in my tank too (but they don't look like yours), and am trying to figure out what to do with them. I tried some kalk paste on a small patch several months ago, and it seemed to work. I'm going to try it on another patch I just found today and see if it works again. Manual removal works too, but they seem hard to really get complete and I've been afraid of spreading them.
