Is this aiptasia?
Anyone know if this is the dreaded aiptaisa? or something harmless? It hitchhiked along with some coral rubble

That looks fairly simple to deal with. Just take out the chunk with the Aiptaisa. Monitor the rest. If your concerned enough, take out all the suspect coral rubble.

Thanks guys it's gone! I didn't realize it could be a threat till recently, so unfortunately it's been in there for a few weeks. The good side is it grew extremely slowly and never moved from that piece of rubble. Hopefully it didn't lay it's eggs on the sand or whatever it does to reproduce
