Is this Aiptaisia

[jerryclunsford]

I have never seen aiptaisia before, is this it? it is currently about 1/16 inch long and attached to a grain of my oolitic substrate.

Kinda hard to tell. I sorta looks like a feather duster to me.

Or maybe hydroid I think thats how its spelled.


Sent from inside the shark tank!

It's only about1/16 inch long so it's hard to get a good photo of. The current has moved it so I will have to find it again.

almost looks like pulsing xenia to me

Well I lost that one anyway the current carried it off where I can't find it. Perhaps it will turn up if it gets bigger.
I can't get a good picture of it as small as it is anyway.
Thanks all

Didn't look like hydroid or aiptasia to me (tons of hydroids, though), looked almost more like some kind of coral.

 

[jerryclunsford]

Well just noticed a lot of them on other things in the tank. I guess I'll find out when they get bigger.

Looks like Xenia kind of. Don't mess with it whatever you do until you know for sure what it is. You don't want it to release more aiptasia if that is what it is.
