    i moved a powerhead that was in my DT to the QT after some time i noticed that it had a small aiptasia on it. i dont have anything in qt at that time so i shut it off and moved the powerhead to be half submerged (the aiptasia above water lvl) i woke up today to find it further down in the water.

    i donno but u may be right, the trunk it thicker than aiptasia and it is more purply in color. btw i moved the power head back to the dt but it is still off. if it is anemone will it grow to be a decent size or it is 1 of the dwarf 1s.

    aiptasias are anemones, and they can move.

    Sounds right. The one I have and keep an eye on has moved a couple times.
