Aiptasia is a pest. They multiply rapidly and more importantly they can sting other corals and fish. It'll take over your tank if they are not taken care of early.

Google Aiptasia and you'll see a lot of info about it.

Tank looks great. You can get a few peppermint shrimps to get rid of the aips

Except that trigger would probably find the pepps pretty tasty. :) You will probably need to inject the aiptasia with some control.

You;re right! Thanks for pointing that out. :D

I would inject the aips with joe's juice or you can use salt paste. If you didnt have a trigger, pepps would do the job for you.
