I found what appears to be aiptasia on my rocks, just wondering if you guys think it truly is aiptasia? It still pretty small, but that's the best time to catch it.

Admin, you can borrow that aipastia X that I have. It worked instantly for me and haven't seen anything pop back up.

Lemon Juice! I used it with my tank fully stocked and it did not harm the corals! Also used crazy glue on one that just hid in a hole and I could not get to it. I just glued the hole shut! LOL

Yup they do, but your tank is not ready for shrimp yet! That is more like for established tanks, you are better off with the chemical rout!

I also heard peppermint shrimp eat it? I found that they will eat the small ones. No way they're going to eat the huge monstrosities that some aiptasia become.

Dope! I have a glass anemone that has been chilling out. I figured more food for when I get a pep shrimp, however, I never considered that it might get too big.
In my bio cube a peppermint shrimp took care of aptaisia no problem.
