I just ordered Berghias for my Aiptasia problem.

I am trying to set up an Aiptasia farm:beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: for the berghias I ordered in case they go starve. The ones in the photo are anemones I cut from a friend's tank. Their color is yellowish white. The tank has low light illumination and it's not a reef, it's fish only tank.

Is this also Aiptasia?

Definitely not aiptasia, not sure what it is. Maybe a bleached majano possibly?

Hello. Thank you for replies.

Yesterday I asked the same question to real Aiptasia experts: Bergias :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
I fed the Berghia tank with these anemone. They ate it all If Berghia strickly feeds only on Aiptasia, then I think they are also a type of Aiptasia. Isn't it?

There's 17 different known species of aiptasia. These might be little tiny Aiptasia Minuta. Common hitchhiker aiptasia have long pointy tentacles even when little, these definitely don't look like the normal kind.
