    I have some of the little brown disc ones but I also have a clear one I think?  What's the difference?  I honestly don't mind a couple because I don't have a lot of coral and I don't plan on having a lot of coral... I'm adding some crabs to help keep them in check.

    Crab's won't help if it's Aiptasia. I'd remove it now very carefully while you can. Otherwise you won't just have one or two for very long...

    I killed the two clear ones as well just to be safe. Don't think they were hydros, they were a bit large for that.

    Click here to see some sample images of aiptasia. http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=aiptasia&biw=1254&bih=847 Aiptasia, like many corals, can look slightly different in different conditions.

    Yeah I researched for a bit before I killed them.. before even posting here. I was slightly confused about some of it because of the variance in appearance of course. I had mostly the evil looking little brown banded ones that really looked creepy as hell anyway so I didn't have a problem ending them. I am still creeped out by them. They look like spiders and I hate spiders.
