    I posted this before and were told by some that they are possibly aiptasia which I need to get rid of. However when I google for them and their photos, they are all brownish color. Mine is completely white. I would like to make sure before I destroy them.

    White just means that it may have bleached. That being said, I can't really make a positive id because your pictures are blurry and all I see are tenticles.

    i would probably just get rid of it to be safe peppermint shrimp will get rid of them and keep them from coming back or a syringe and lemon juice injected directly into the center of the anemone both have worked great for me and i still have zero aiptasia in my tank

    Its too blurry to tell. I think I remember your original post. Is there any possibility of a better pic?
