ID/Opinion on what's bothering my Tub's Blue

[gothunder3022]

Are these tentacles an Aptasia? I can't even see them with the naked eye. All I could see was the tiny white spots when I noticed the Zoa was not happy...then the (crappy) macro shots revealed the tentacles. Should I just scrape that part off, or is there a better remedy?

thanks!

Is definately not aiptasia. Looks like maybe an orange ball anemone or something similar. For sure an anemone. I recommend you try to remove it. Is most likely irritating your tubbs Could try a needle with Boiling hot water, lemon juice, kalkwaser or try to get it to move onto a rock by smothering it. Or cut in from the plug? Good Luck!

its a corynactis anemone...u can take it out easily...take it outi see some green algae and debris and also cyanobacteria(red slime)..i recommend you put it in lots of flow...to clean off debris..and brush the algae off gently by a soft brush(*toothbrush will work*)

hope this help...

Those little glass nems will get ya..

They say zoo's are "beginner corals" ..
I'm learning, not so much..
I have ACRO's less moody than some of my zoo's

sorry just ranting.

I hate these nems. They're like ninjas, it's hard to see them.
