    I just notice a few more on other rocks, but they are like clearish white. I know aptasia is brown-tanish. Unless aptasia comes in different colors?

    it could be aiptasia, they could be majenos, but either way, nuke them.

    I believe they are glass ananome's. They are clear/transparent. Will peppermint shrimp eat them? I have 4 in the tank and I hope they're hungry..

    Aiptasia do come in different colors and that looks like one. Pepper's should take care of them. Good luck

    And as usual, your right! I put one of the rocks in my 155 last night with a clear view of two of the clear aptasias, (pics were from my nano), and as of this morning, completely gone!

    So, I'm gonna take a Pepper out of the 155, ( I have 4 in there) and put it in the nano. Lunch time!

    I have one that looks just like that, but mines colored differently. It is purple with bright, lime-green tentecles. I haven't removed mine cause its actually very pretty. I put it up on 3reef too, but no one could ID it.

    From the description, it sounds like a majeno.

    Nuke it!
