i almost want to say the red version of mojano anemones, but i cant be too sure... can you get a closer pic?
You better get rid of those 4 before you have 40!!!!!!
Trust me, I thought only saw bout 10 at first!!!! and you don't wanna see a full tank shot!!!!!
Best way to get rid of them is to go to the store. Pick up some Pickling Lime.
Can get at some grocery stores, walmart sometimes has it or Ace Hardware and Lowes will have it this time a year in the garden section.
When you get home, take some of the powder (wont take much) and mix with water. Make a paste out of it.. Kinda thick but not to thick (just dont want it liquid like, more like glue like)
take a syringe, fill with the Pickling Lime paste you made up.
Turn off your Current (fan, blower)in your tank.
Then shoot a small amount of the paste in each one of them you see. That will kill them and they will not come back.
Then just leave them alone.. Let the pickling lime do its job. Later, the fan will clean up the mess. Just remember, it doesnt take alot on each one to kill it. Just try and get it rt inside the flower part.
Any future ones you see, do the same treatment to each, just make sure you turn your current off and leave off for about 5 min after you treat.
Also, if you have some pepperment shrimp, good, if not, get some from your local pet store. They will help control them if they start to come back up again.
Any pests you see in your tank, you can treat the same way. This is the best way to do it and will not harm your fish or any coral you have..
sample of the pickling lime is below.
