If you want them, keep them. Hell, I have seen people selling them on the internet. Just know they will turn into the plague... And if you EVER want to sell rock or anything from your tank, good luck, I know most people would not touch it with aiptasia running amuck!
On the other side, if you are a PETA member or a vegiterian or tree hugger. Then by all means it is an animal and has the right to live.

Ya, Sal had some rock come in with some Aiptasia on it but when/if you know about it and catch it fast enough it is easy to control. Once you let it take foot and "breed" in your tank, then best of luck to you.

What does this mean? I happen to be two of the three, and can taste a little bit of resentment from a comment like that.

It was meant as a joke... Sorry did not mean to offend.
Well, they are ok, but they will spread and they don't look that great either. If you can try and get rid of them when you have just a few. If you don't want a peppermint shrimp, try the kalk paste or Joe's Juice.
What fish are you keeping or planning to have? You could try a copperband butterfly if you are going fish only. Again, like most things, they may or may not eat the aiptasia.
Hope that helps,
Andy

I don't think this counts as a hijack since we are IDing stuff... what is this thing (green with the tenticles)?

The guy told me it was from Hawaii and don't touch it because it can give a nasty nip. I don't know if this was the thing that did it, but I got a nice wack from something in the tank when I was over in that neck of the woods. Course is could have been that black crab I have just as easily.

Galexia doesn't have such long tenticles. However they do have LONG feeder tenticles that will sting all corals around it but only a few are out at a time.

I do believe that Torches can do this as well as Galexia.

Sorry, Bryan- that is galaxea. It has a very potent sting (at least to other corals-possibly people too).
