Yes, it is aptasia. You can kill it with a kalk-paste (limewater stirred very
thick).

Hi Ed
Kill it (them) as soom as you can.
Don't let aiptasia to reproduce. When they are a lot, It's very hard to get
rid of them.

Do these guys move around ?, I found one in my tank last week and now it's
gone. If it's left there what will the result be ?

They spread and make more of themselves.

Thanks (again) Marc.
I took 2 Tbl of Kent's Kalk mix, added a little water, and turkey
baseted 'em!
I'll post a follow-up on the results.
By the way, my blue 'Mr. Curious' throat trigger got a dab on the
nose. I tried to getas much off as possible.

P.S. As you suggested, I reduced the size of all images on my site by
about 90%, for a quicker loading site.

So they are more of a pest and not dangerous ?

I know people who just tolerate them. It's surprising how big they can get.
They can kill small fish and sting corals.

I have found that Peppermint shrimp work well to control them.
