Peppermint Shrimp will eat it, otherwise, it can be quite a pain, very hard to eradicate. I put crazy glue on one I found, but there are products to buy to kill it.

It is a pest anemone (aiptasia). Kill it before it spreads!

This is the stuff. Works like a charm :]
Just be careful that you don't use too much of it, it can harm your fish and whatnot. :sfish:
Yeah, that's what I thought. I've tried killing it 3 times with the aptaisia X:frustrat: and have been unable to kill it. That's why I was wondering. I'll give it another go. Thanks everyone.
Also, I found this little star that's different than the others. It looks kind of like my sand star, but the center looks like its separate from the legs. like it's jointed. It's bigger than my other hitch hiking stars i've found.

Its kinda cool. lol hopefully you can keep it. haha
you're probably not using enough of the aptasia x. it gets rid of all of mine. You have to make sure it goes perfectly in the center of it and make sure you're putting enough of it.

Your little star is a mini brittle star. Good guys!

Also get a needle, and some lemon juice and try squirt it into the base stork of the aiptasia, that normally works!

I hate to say it but sometimes.. I get a syringe and just suck up the aptasia.
Its sort of hard to do but it really gets them. poor guys though.. probably painful.

:bowdown: As always, thank you guys. That aptasia is in a really hard spot to get. Underneath and tucked towards the back. Of course it's a bottom rock :grumble:. Unfortunatelly, the peppermints aren't an option due to the fact my frogfish likes shrimp, lol. So, guess i'll have to try some of the other options.
I'm glad the star is a good one. He has some really cool markings. Yay, something I can keep :^::bounce::^:.

They're definitely hit and miss. I got five a couple months ago when I found an aiptasia. I knew, first of all, that the trigger would eat at least a couple of them. But the ones that made it got rid of the nem for me. And I feed my tank pretty heavily.
