Baby Aiptasia

[drowningdreamer]

I noticed some little white globs on my tank glass. They had little tentacles and I'm guessing they are aiptasia. But I was wondering how do the aiptasia look like when they are in the infant stage? I just started the Joe's Juice treatment and I squirted some of the little blobs. Stuff works awesome, although I did notice that some of the ones I squirted where still alive. Guess I'll have to do some heavier dosage tonight.

They most likely are aiptasia, but take a look here so that you aren't mistaken and it's hydroids instead:

It isn't the best picture, but this is one that I had in my tank. I lucked out and to date it was the only one I have seen. Plus it didn't like where it was and I saw it moving to find a new spot when the lights were out and I sucked it out with a turkey baster.

It's kind of tough to see it well enough to even identify it from that pic. It may not even be aiptasia. See if you could get a better pic.
