Default Do aptesia glow under actinics?
Hey guys i have my new 60 Gal tank up and running and i see some small polyps popping out from live rocks and they glow green under actinics only. They do like aptesia but I don't remember if in my previous tanks if they used to glow green under actinics.
Anyone care to check theirs? Because two of mine is too tiny to positevly identify. If they are, then i need to buy some shrimps to get rid of it.
Thx.

I can confirm that they don't glow under actinics in my tank.

I put a bunch in bucket with just water and they were still living 4 days later, they will live under anything.

By the sounds of it they seem like button polyps to me.

I mistook a white star polyp for apistasia some months back, glad I didn't douse it TOO much with Joe's Juice, although it probably wouldn't have done anything...

but anyway, pictures! Mine grow very nicely green under actinics.

Murray - they're the cockroaches of saltwater, I tell ya! I've ripped them off, stuck 'em in a bucket with water (I was doing a clean) came back a week later and they were still alive. COLD WATER... ugh. Needless to say there stuffed in soil outside now, so TAKE THAT evil thing!!
