Aiptasia

Can I just come out here and appreciate the work that goes into tanks

I’ve been hobbying for 2 years now, the hobby is incredibly time consuming, I have to hold my hands up to applause the people who have hugely successful tanks, any tips to get mine looking good, I have algae and aiptasia in mine, it’s 35l

The pic of the tank is 2 months ago, algea on the rocks has gone a small bit, brown dust on the sand has gone too

Anyone recognize what’s on this fish? It’s a black clown and a white clown sold as a pair, but I’m concerned of their condition… and yes I have seen the aptasia in the tank also

Aiptasia? Tried getting a video with white light but as soon as it comes on it shoot back into the tube

Best way to get rid of aptasia ? I believe its just the one but its massive!! I was told to hold the peice up out of water that its on and blow torch it off.

Pico aiptasia grow out tank coming along nicely

Yesterday my qt tank turned into its own reef tank. I had a local reefer reach out to me that was breaking down his tank and asked if I wanted to take in some live rock with a couple corals attached for free. I get to his house and he shows me his tank and says here it is everything in it is yours. I had to stop by my lfs to get some live sand and set everything up as soon as I got home. I’m thankful I had a spare tank on hand because I don’t know what I would’ve done with everything he gave me. Also set up a small breeding bucket for aiptasia since the live rock came with it. Luckily for me I have plenty of hungry berghia.

Berghias everywhere!

ID please. I am new to marine aquariums hobby. I got this piece, of what I thought was a coral, free with my last order. Now it has those polyps popping out. On the 1st photo you can see the purple top of what I through was free coral and they are growing from the bottom, they all retracted when I handled the piece (photo 2). Is this aiptasia?

Hey everyone. Is that aiptasia growing at the base of my Acan?

So! doe's anyone want to borrow fílé to rake out aiptasia ? 🤔😂 no serious he's good at his job, im based in Midlands le4 💯✌🏼🖤🤍

Copperband update 🐟

He’s officially eating bloodworms now and I’ve even caught him picking at aiptasia 🙌🏼

Now the long process of bleaching all my rock to get rid of all the aptasia that has infested my tank 😅
