is this aptasia?

Is this aptasia or some other type of polyp? I've see 2 of these in my tank

Thanks

I'm actually testing a few things....
Superglue seems to be very promising

Apparently I have a tiny head of aiptaisa on a zoa frag I picked up at Fragfest.  Would be nice if I could just smother it in superglue.

I have a friend who plugs the hole where it is with putty. says it works. and after awhile it colors with coralline algae. I seen it to believe it lol

i know peppermint shrimp snack on them but would my coral banded shrimp snack on him?

coral banded shrimp are pretty much just slow moving decoration. They don't do a heck of lot.

Copperbanded butterflys are known Aptasia eaters, but they are hit or miss as some will devour it, other won't touch it.

Nope, Yangman is right, they will not do anything for you other then look cool. I love mine and so do my kids.

See my post on killing it. Using a syringe and boiling water.  Works like a charm. Never found any since (8 months) and it's free. Lol

+1  Boiling water was my best method before I got my Copperband.
