Good or Bad Anenome

Hi....Im new to this site and salt water aquarium. I purchased 2 live rocks and noticed what appears to be sea anenome....can someone tell me if this is good or bad? I have attached a picture of it.


Thanks

 

Bad. Looks to be aiptasia

 

wecome to 3reef, yea glass nem (bad) i can't think of anything good about them well, maybe good for food to a copperband butterfly fish and some shrimp

 

well...good, bad, its all relative. Out in the ocean doing its thing, that aiptasia(glass hem) might not be so terrible. it filter feeds, reproduces, does its anemone thing. BUT, relative to your aquarium, that is one BAD(undesirable) anemone. use some kalk paste, aiptasia X, or some other remedy. The sooner the better. As they can reproduce quickly and are quite aggressive.

 

Thank You

Thank you for all your input. I have heard all different ways to get rid if them, including super glue, but getting something from a fish store sounds much safer.

Thank You! I'm sure ill be on here asking a lot of questions since its my first time having a salt water tank.

 

To avoid adding chemicals to your tank, use hot (literally almost boiling) water in a turkey baster and blast that sucker.

 

Chance, so should I remove the live rock from the tank and blast those suckers?

 

If you can remove the rock so much the better!! Then you'll have a better chance of getting them all. Especially those you don't see yet. May even want to consider getting rid of the rock period

 

If you do remove it to a different container for treatment, remember to leave it in there for a bit, as the anemone will retract and hide with the movement and agitation.
