I have never had this before and never seen it in person. Is this aiptasia in my tank or is it something else. I have seen a few different pictures on line, but I am still not sure.
Thanks

oh lucky me. The rock it is on is fairly easy to remove. should I remove it and clean it, or should I just mix some kalkwasher paste and cover it?

man i would just take the rock out and boil it and don't put it back for a month. not worth risking an infestation.

Found this on a different rock not sure what it is at all. Kinda a bad picture but it has shorter tenticles and is red.
I think I am not liking this last batch of LR that I got.

it's hard to tell but it looks like a yuma which is a nice hitch hiker. but it could also be a majano (did i spell that right?). that is not a good thing. a pest just like aiptasia

It doesn't really look like either from the pictures I can find. Yuma is a mushroom Correct? and Majano is an anenome. The majano picture I found looks like the tenticles are longer like aiptasia. Where it is located it is hard to get a good picture.
