Snorkeler's Cube

Back in Jan 6th I posted a blog about how Aiptasias had apparently been eradicated from my tank, since I hadn't had peppermint shrimp for 2 months and no Aiptasias were found neither in my sump nor in my DT.

Well, up until Oct 9th, when I added peppermint shrimp to the tank again no Aiptasias had appeared in the DT nor in the sump.

But, on Nov 24th I spotted this in my sump:

Yep, Aiptasia. So, either that one was hiding in there all the time and didn't reproduce (talk about die hard and stealth), or, it is the daughter of a hitchhiker on the LR I added on Oct 9th.

Anyway, I'm not going to bother trying to get it out for now. With the peppermint shrimp pair in the DT I doubt I'll see any Aiptasia soon in the DT.
