Re: Need help id'ing a hitchhiker

Well, I thought that my copperband had eaten this little guy because he went missing. Turns out he relocated. Moved into a new rock and killed a small nassarius snail. I guess that means it definately is an anemone hey?
If it is a flower anemone, do I get rid of it?

I would, unless you think it's pretty enough to sacrifice some of your livestock once in a while.

It's gone I just hate to needlessly kill something but I would hate to risk something else in the tank.
Wasn't pretty at all anyway--ugliest thing In the tank....and I have a little cyano starting
Thanks
