Aptasia or other?!

[Flash]

I have searched and searched but have not found anything regarding what's in my tank...

it's TINY... very tiny right now just big enough to see it, and it's a white/clear color... my first thought is aptasia... it's only on one little piece of my rock... but I've seen three little white.clear thingy's that look like aptasia.. but super small! lol! any help? I wish my camera was good enough to get a pic.

I've found the tiny tiny ones are usually hydroids, aiptasia grow very fast while hydroids seem to just appear and don't get much bigger than tiny. Hope that helps. Try to get a pic if you can so we can id it better. Keep an eye on it, either way you may have a problem on your hands. Hydroids while not as much of a PITA as aiptasia, can still take over a tank and make it look rather unsightly.

Are hydroids suseptible to Joe's Juice? I zapped what I think was aptasia yesterday, I thought I would err on the side of caution.

i got a small peppermint shrimp.. so we'll see if that helps... the little aptasia like things are very tiny right now

Let us know if the shrimp work because i have a few and want to get rid of them before i add fish and corals.

Shrimp is missing....there goes $20.00! lol!

I don't get it, it was there yesterday morning (8:00am) and when my roommate check at 12:00pm it was gone... no body parts, no shell no anything... there's nothing that it could have gotten sucked up in, and my damsel is sure not big enough to eat it...there's not a heck of a lot of tiny holes for it to get into...even when feeding it didn't come out....so I dunno... any idea's?! all water levels are fine... big mystery!

Won't be getting any more shrimp that's for sure
