Anyone able to tell me what is the white flower like thing that's in the photo?

Thats a pest Mojano anemone if I am not wrong. Will spread and become more, stings fishes too!

Thanks. Any ideas on how to remove them effectively?

Hmm..it should be aiptasia anemone bro

2 ways to get rid from what I know:-

1) Get peppermint shrimp or copperband butterfly
2) Commercial products to get rid of aiptasia

Please DO NOT manually scrap it off or you may end up them multiplying!

FYI, tis is a mojano anemone

Oops, mixed up! Best is to remove the base it attaches to.

high tech way i seen before is to use a laser , just point and kill

Laser? What kind of laser will that be?
I can't add shrimps as you see, its in a puffer tank, he eats anything that moves, not sure about copperband butterfly though but I had too many bad experience with adding tankmates for him.

on second thoughts , might be easy for you to remove it manually , the laser treatment is used for outbreaks in deep full corals tank

Alright. Thanks for all the info here.

Aiptasia. feed it kalkwasser and watch it die, before they multiply out of control.

**jasonpoh1975** · 25th Apr 2015, 16:04

spore has a ban on laser more powerful than 0.005 or was it 0.02 Watt..can't rem. Don't be caught with a 1 watt laser killing aiptasia or cockroaches.
