I have 3 peps waiting for dinnertime on same rock every day, and they did nothing as one aiptasia turned to 3 more small ones. At first they look like fan worms and they are pretty but they spread fast. They were on a huge liverock...took it out and torched general area. They retreat out of water...impossible to find exactly which spot so no choice. some people say to use lighter but torch was fast and rock was back in tank. Havent seen any aptasia since...about 2 months now...fingers crossed

THEY'RE just anemones...not a bulletproof Alien, right?...BUT I still watch for them to come back just in case. Lol
