Wtf

I have this thing growing in my tank. Its the claw like thing above the candy cane coral. Can anyone tell me what it is and if its bad or good?

 

Small feather duster or Aiptasia.

 

looks like a duster to me

 

It looks like some sort of an anemone to me.

 

I think I have to agree that it's an anemone. The tentacles look more round like an anemone and not flatter like the feathers on a duster.

 

I've seen those before but I can't remember their name. Doing a quick search right now and should have an answer soon.

 

another pic at a different angle?

 

Curlicue anemone. The stripes on the tentacles make me think that's what it is.

 

ha now you see why I couldnt figure out what it was. I like it though it looks sorta mean.

 

That is what I always call them.I treat them just like aiptasia....die,die.die!

 

I've read in some places they are just a type of aiptasia or others that they are curlicues. Either way, they seem to grow similarly and sting just as bad - I just used aip-x to eradicate them.

 

Ok ill kill it.

 

:chair:

Murdalize it!!

 

Its a goner. I Xed it and it had the wierdest implosion ive seen. It looked like it tried to spit it out by thrusting forward several times then bam it sucked in its hole never to be seen again.
