Hitchhiker ID

[mab]

I'm new to the hobby and need some advice. I have these hitchhikers on my live rocks and need to positively identify them. Should I keep them or not? Thanks

To me they look like Aiptasia, google it and see if the images match up.


... then destroy!

Looks like aiptasia to me, I'd simply remove the rock and leave it in the sun, clean it, before putting it back in my tank.

It don't look like anything good, I'd get it out!

Aiptasia - and I know people here recommend a lye solution, I'm using Aiptasia X and it's taking care of them with little to no harm to anything else in the tank.

Thanks everyone. They turned out to be aiptasia. Fortunately, they were confined to two small rocks, so I just removed them.
