    not a 100%, but i'd go w/ hydroid or aptasia. take rock out of tank, pull off as much as you can then scrub w/ old toothbrush. worked for me.

    get rid - they will do nothing but sting your tank and stress everything out and quickly multiply!

    +3 aiptasia. Get those suckers out asap. They will most definitely sting your tang, makes them stress real bad and breathe harder than usual.

    Just get rid of em' and you'll be fine.

    Ok, cool & thanks!

    Is it possible..however remotely, that these are some kind of anennome (sp)?

    The rank is eating his algae strip and some shrimp. Looks a little better, but I'll get after those.
