Aptasia?

That's what i didn't want to see! Everything in my tank since the reboot came from an aptasia free tank (as far as he knows). I've never had it before, so not really sure what it looks like, or where it could have come from.

I also had a aptasia infestation on some $8/pound live rock. Got one peppermint shrimp and he has taken care of them all. Took just over a month.

Gave it a shot of vinegar with a pipette yesterday. Closed right up and haven't seen it since. Seems to be effective method as long as you can reach them.

Mix up some kalk paste, shut off all the flow and apply some with a pipette to the mouth. Leave the flow off and kalk paste on it for at least an hour.

The general rule is for every one you see, there's usually 10 you can't see.

Are you a FOWLR anyways?

Turns out it was on a small rock, so just took it out. I do have a few corals (hammers, kenya, toadstool). Not sure if I'm going to go fowlr or not.

Ah. Ok.

I though you were fowlr. If that were the case. There are plenty of fish who would make short work of them

Peppermint shrimp were mentioned as being effective. Will have to look into getting a couple.
