what does aiptasia look like
 
I think I might have recieved some aiptasia in my last order of Live Sand.
I have this clear round plant growing in the new sand. It has long clear tenticals which start thick at the base of the pod and then get thinner as they reach the end. Could this be and if so should I pull it out.

I have found injecting it with boiling water with an extremely high concentration of salt, to work well and doesn't damage things around it.

I did it.

I took about a teaspoon of Kalk and added to 2 teaspoons of aquarium water, mixed it up and gave that little B*&%&^%d a mouth full.

Results are still pending.

Thanks for the ideas guys/girls.

Josh
