Brown Zoa/Anemone
I have a lot of these growing in my tank and I'm not sure of what these are or how to get rid of them. At first they looked nice now I'm tired of looking at them.
Sorry for the bad pictures. |

Aiptasia is a pest anemone and there are several ways to get rid of them. There are products sold that claim to get rid of them , the way that I go about it is take the rock out of the tank and squirt each nem with some lemon juice , then try to pry the feet off of the rock with a toothpick (make sure to get it all off or they can grow back ) , rinse the rock of with some water and put it back in the tank . I haven't had any grow back or any new breakouts using this method . Peppermint shrimp , I believe , also are said to eat them (?)
