Hello all.

This was in my corner overflow for about 8 months, no idea where it came from but I left it alone. Recently it un-attached and got sucked down the over flow ending up in my sump.

I fished it out and put it into my display, thinking it was some kind of aptasia type thing that my copperband butterfly might munch on it (he polished off hundreds in about a week, now trying to grow aptasia in a 3 gallon).

Could an aptasia sit in my corner overflow for 8 months without even 1 more being spawned in the corner?

It's gotta be about 8 gallons of water in there, I would think after 8 months, with one big aptasia in there, it would be wall to wall aptasia, no? Especially because no predators could reach them, I think they would take off.
