Basically, they're anemones. Most of them are small, but overtime they can multiply to the tens and twenties, grow to be a decent size, and if they go untreated, will take over a tank. They will sting nearby corals, irritating them and fish that come close.


I've killed them with peppermint shrimp and aipstasia X

Treezer's got it. Feather duster and aiptasia. Aiptasia are pest anemones. They multiply very quickly, stinging and killing anything in their path.
