Hi Guys, (and ladies of course) I have been looking thru past posts, and others are talking about what I think this is, but I haven't seen any pictures yet to verify.
I have a number of these poping up. I have tried Kalwasser on the surface of them, I have tried joes juice aimed at them. I have not tried injecting directly.
Any ideas what this is and how to get rid of them?>
Thanks for any ideas

this is majano anemones (if the guys above ID it correctly), not aiptasia. Neither the peppermint shrimp nor the berghia will touch them.
As for me, the pictures are too blurry to give a confirm ID but there is no way that it is aiptasia. (Aiptasia-X, Joe's juice will kill them despite the name).

Definitely a Majano anemone .. a pest and multiplies really fast too.
Remedy: If you have any Kalkwasser (Calcium Hydroxide) powder form ... add water to a semi-fluid consistency and use a syringe to slowly "inject" the Kalk paste in the center of the Majano's mouth ... BAM!!
HTH,
