Aiptasia hitch hiker?

[janalta]

Discovered this little guy on the back of one of my new Hermit shells.....is it Aiptasia??

[Delphinus]

I'm not sure what that is. Normally aiptasia is reasonably transparent-ish. I don't think that's an aiptasia.. Sorry I guess that's not much help. :p

[janalta]

I'm kind of hoping it's not.....I rather like it. Have to give it an A for effort too....it has 8 Hermits that keep attempting to try the shell on for size...flipping it over and burying it in the sand constantly.

Can anyone ID this guy for me???:sad:

If it is Aiptasia....I'd like to get it out of my tank before it gets any bigger...or spreads

im still a newbie, but i was told by (my mind is going blank but it was a reputable place) that apatasia if it gets a lot of light can sometimes go brown...

i would say its better just to take out the shell
