yep aptasia I believe as well. - scrape it off or shot it up with a syringe full of very strong kalk, or something like joes juice. Also be advised that toadstool will get huge - likely to large for your tank in less then a year
Thanks for the replies
Yes, I've been reading that that aptipsia is not a welcome hitchiker by any means. I'll try pulling him off or the lemon juice.
Yes, the toadstool is large, when you look at it at the lfs in a 200gal tank it looks small but then you get it home and it overpowers my tank.
I may have to sell it on ebay or trade for something smaller.

I wouldnt pull him off. But Joe's juice work very well. But with anything like Concentrated Kalk, Joes, just be carefull that you dont get it on anything that you dont want dead.
Your local fish store should care one or the other of these:

It probably will go back if you pull it off, Joe's Juice works the best.

any pieces that are left after you pull it off will grow new aiptasia. i learned this the hard way...i now have well over 100 of those little boogers in my 60
I have not seen aptipsia with so many tenticules and such a thick stalk. Is eveyone sure about this? Agreed, it is ugly like aptipsia; but, mine has never looked so big. Maybe it's the angle of the shot and the distoration of the glass and the second beer. Perhaps we are being a little fast with the needle. Hmmmm...a second photo is in order if you ask me. What do you expect from me the novice?
