Resolved can someone tell me what this?

does it kill anything or grows out of control?

 

Yup and very healthy. If you dont get rid of the Aiptasia, the Zoas will not open up b/c of its stinging tenticles.

its part of the anenome family, so possibly could kill. but mostly just grows outta control. kinda like the dandelion of the ocean

 

how should i kill it?

 

ive found aiptasia-x to work really well. i ject the mouth with it. its calcium based. but keep it off everything else, or it will kill them too

 

There are many ways;

Lemon juice, boiling water, Joe's juice, Aiptasia X but the way I personally like to use is Peppermint Shrimps. Cheap($2.99 ea), natural and they stick around as scavengers.

ok thanks im about to go with the pepermint shrimp but its the Lysmata wurdemanni one right?

 

No, Lysmata Californica or Catalina Cleaner Shrimp or other wise known as Peppermint Shrimp. The trick is to buy a couple other wise they will survive on the food that you feed the fish. I, for ex., buy 5-6 of them for my 90g tank.
