It looks like a Aiptasia to me (they are pesky pests that reproduce like crazy a nasty little anenome).

peppermint shrimps need to get a pack of them though 3-4. joe juice : but i have found my aptasia to be too stubborn for that and multiply 10 fold after that application. there are also several larger butterfly but i wouldn't recommend them.

Kalk Paste. Mix it to a toothpaste consistency, use a syringe and inject it into their mouths. If this doesn't work, Joe's Juice probably won't either. There's a new product out called Aiptasia X. It works very well. I'd still suggest trying Kalk Paste first, since you should already have Pickling Lime on hand.

I didn't get around to it today but... tomorrow is battle day with those pesky buggers grrrrr I so hate them. I Use Joe's Juice on the buggers and it pretty dang good.

Kalk paste is the way to go........... In most cases. Ive resorted to electrocuting mine with 16 volts. :evil: Its actually quite fun! Ill elaborate more after further testing.


WARNING!!!! Do not try this at home...............

I put a single peppermint shrimp in and he took care of several aptasia for me. If your tank is large I would recommend several. They're great for eating that and I see mine eating debris under rock all day.
