    Some alternate between these two forms during their life cycle. In the case of Aiptasia, and all anthozoans, the body form is the polyp. The body is composed of a pedal disc with which Aiptasia attaches to the substrate, a smooth and elongated body column and an oral disc which bears the mouth and long stinging tentacles.

    Like all members of the Cnidaria phylum, Aiptasia have the ability to sting for both offensive and defensive purposes; the tentacles near the oral disc have stinging cells called nematocysts that can sting fish, crustaceans, corals, and reef rock in your aquarium.
    These opportunistic anemones can be identified by their resemblance to miniature palm trees, with a polyp body and an oral disc bordered by tentacles. There are many different species of Aiptasia; some varieties are transparent, while others are mostly light brown or tan in color, ranging in size from a few centimeters to a few inches.
