Ok, so this little guy is on a birthday purchase. It's a shroom rock that has quite a few zoas popping up. At first i thought it was another just a wicked looking one. Now im not so sure. Glass anemone? I haven't seen been able to find any pics that have the little white things around the circumference
It may all be in my head, but every time my fish swim by it it seems to deviously eye it and reach out for it...

Aiptasia. Kill it. Peppermint shrimp will sometimes eat them. or injection of chemicals.

Then feed it and you'll be "blessed" with a BUNCH of little cool ones in no time at all.

lol. i ran into a LFS that was selling "aiptasia rocks" for like $35. This little guy just doesn't look like the aiptasia i've seen or had before. Other than the tentacles that is.

I have a tank full, wiling to sell the rocks at a very good price....

Well they are about the only thing I can breed real good so they cant be good. I mean with me the only thing I can catch is a cold, the only thing I am good at tossing is my cookies, ect... So I say get rid of them , before they take over, Shaun

It does look a lot like Aiptasia. Does it totally retract when you touch it? If it has a stony base in the center it may be a hidden cup coral.

Looks more like Aiptasia though.
