Is one Aiptasia a problem?
Hello- << Hi. >> Was wondering: I have one of these buggers and I am wondering about getting rid of it. I guess it’s Aiptasia–it sprouted from a very small piece of live rock I bought. It has grown rather slowly over the last 3-4 months. << If it is small, and you only have one, I'd leave it alone. >> Just started to move around a little–maybe a couple of inches max. To be honest I liked to watch it grow. << Then do so. >> Call me stupid.<< Nope, sounds fine to me. >> Anyway, since it’s such a small piece of rock it’s easily removed. << Well that helps, but I think most people make too big of a deal with Aiptasia. >> The rock has some beautiful purple algae on it that I’d like to be as nice to as possible. I was wondering if I could possibly remove the rock and place it in a shallow container of water with the anemone area above water. Would this not kill it if exposed for a while? << No. I would rather take out the rock, and physically scrape it off, then spray or wash that area wit
