    Oh okay. I can't go that low on this one.

    There's this one. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=4427" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/p ... catid=4427</a> Most people that would have used ones would be for much larger tanks, like mine.

    I just started a 10 gallon salt water tank today. In one of the little caves I made with the live rock, I noticed some form of anemone. I'll have to get a better look once the tank settles a little more.

    Probably a glass amemone or apistia. Get rid of it now.

    I got a better look at it, and it seems to have kind of a white circular base and clear tentacles/body. Are there different forms of aiptasia? They look brown in most of the pics I've seen of them. Not that I really mind getting rid of it. I'm not an anemone fan at all, though it was kind of cool to see a living creature in a tank I just set up. If it is this evil anemone, what is the best way you've found to take care of them?

    I've had brown and clear/white ones. I purchased ApistiaX and it works great. Kills them in a few seconds and they don't return.

    It wont kill anything else that might have hitchhiked with the rock will it? I have a little sponge on one of the rocks, and would like to see what happens with it.

    Nope, you inject it right onto the mouth of the anemone.
