Hey all, I'm a newbie at this (one week). Purchased a Red Sea Max 130 aquarium from a local provider. They setup the unit complete with live rock about 10 days ago. Since then the tank has been cycling and I've testing the chemistry (which appears good at this point). After the first few days I noticed one particular piece of rock that had anemones on it. I thought this was cool, until I realized (from reading online) that this was Aiptasia. Called the store and they said I need to eliminate it using special chemical (i.e Red Sea Aiptasia X). It seemed that only one piece of rock had them (8 visible), so I removed it (placed in bucket with salt water, mechanically removed the Aiptasia that I could see).
Should I try to save this rock (i.e. clean and return to the tank), or dispose of it (take back to store for refund)?
Thanks!
