    I've never seen one of these before. It's hard to see but it's to the right of the snail. What is it?

    yeah, do a search on the forum. I personally use a product called aiptasia x. it is a pest anemone and it will sting fish and corals. They are mobile as well but I haven't really seen them move once they appear.

    You don't wanna wait to long cause they can spread & end up in places that's very hard to reach. Be careful not to get the aiptasia x on other corals & turn off your pumps. Check around tank for others also.

    Had them all over my old tank cause I thought they looked cool. Used aptasia x one time and they never came back.
