|  Do I Have.....AIPTASIA!?!?!?
I knew I shouldn't have started bragging, cuz look, isn't this Aiptasia? In fact I think there's 2 of them. Thought they were cute when I first saw it a couple of weeks ago. Looking through a book on Inverts and ran across a picture and realized, it ain't cute, it's a menace. Can I yank 'em out with some tweezers?  _________ Linda 29g Nano 2 FSL 8000k 36w & 2 AquaLux 36w Blue Pump: 1200 LPH; Maxi-Jet 600 Powerhead 100w Visi Stealth submersible heater 15 lbs. live rock 20 lbs. live sand LIVESTOCK: 1 cleaner shrimp; Asst. snails, 1 emerald crab, Pierre the Cleaner Shrimp and acrobat extraordinnaire, 1 button polyp, 1 green star polyp, 1 red mushroom, 1 Xenia, 1 octopus coral, 1 torch, 1 frogspawn, 1 tree coral, 1 stag coral.

Unlike an anemone the feather duster has a calcerous tube. Aptasia looks like an anemone. Usually white to brown. It's too bad aptasia is such a menace cause, I think that they are cool looking. | |

They look so similar. How can you tell them apart? While taking pictures, at one point, it had disappeared. I sat and stared at watched it slowly come out of it's little tiny tube. It was really beautiful. | |
