Is this aiptasia?

[FrankieGee]

At a lfs and am wondering if this is good or bad for the tank?

Yes, it's Aiptasia.  It's bad bad bad bad bad!  Unless you're trying to breed Berghia nudibranchs.  Otherwise bad bad bad!

Are they selling that jewel?

[jimlin]

wow, sold as live rock?

Good for a peppermint shrimp tank for free food but that's about it

[FrankieGee]

I won't be going back to that place again. lol. Everything had aiptasia on it-the rocks, glass, corals, tubing, and they were huge. It was crazy to see so much and so big of pieces.

If its in a fish or invert system it's not a big deal and actually preferred. They will eat up a lost of waste. You just don't want aptasia in a coral tank. We keep lots of peppermints in our coral tank for get reason. Ill give a free frag if you can find one

welp, about aiptasia. so i put some in my sump and changed my mind. i took out all that i could see and today while i was changing out the return pump i found some inside the filter chamber of my mag pump. now i am wondering if any made it to the display. those suckers are hard to get rid of.

Now that is some gorgeous and healthy aptaisia!  It almost takes skill to grow that!

 

Was it Roozens?  Or what LFS?

yup, very short time. i think it was two days. they moved around all over my sump. i had to drain the sump and razor blade the glass to get them out and yet some still got away.
