EAT EAT EAT, will ya

all my HUGE aiptasia! I have some the size of a rbta and lots of small ones. Already tried the nudis but disappeared on me. Now its HER turn. Please wish me luck as she hasnt touched not one yet...

Interesting fish too...

Why don't you just use aptaisia-x?

 

[44santababy]

good question...lol

answer is i want to stay 100% natural. If she doesn't work out, i'll have no choice but to go a chemical/manual route.

I have tried aiptasia x and the aiptasia always came back. Waste of money for me.

....I did everything correctly, my tank is only 7 inches high an very easy to inject. I directly hit them numerous times and they have always hid for around a week and then came back out.

I've never seen my filefish eat the aptasia...but they keep disappearing!

I used 5pepermint shrimp they only eat the baby's and aptasia x on the big ones and haven't seen any in over 2 years....

I've never seen my filefish eat the aptasia...but they keep disappearing!

thanks, it's a DD file fish stating clearly eating nuisance aiptasia. Time will tell...

 

[44santababy]

my only concern is she eats very well during feeding!

 

[44santababy]

lol, she eats bristle worms...just witnessed it

yeah dont waste your time with aptasia x it just shrinks them up they move to the bottom of the rock most of the time and start growing again , good luck with the fish ones its settled in it will go to town on aptasia for sure if u wont over feed it,if it eats bristle worms it was worth the money just for that.

I have 2 of them in my 240 ,, I don't see any of my aiptasia ,, and my whole tank was overtaken by them, give them time

Or get a kliens butterfly but hy go after coral 100 garuntee but hey will destroy aptasoa

 

[44santababy]

my yellow tang destroyed a butterfly...never again

 

[mcnuggget]

the fish may not touch it. its always a gamble when getting a natural predator to rid of the pest, and it never radicates the pest completely.

so cool!!! Just watched her literally clean a zoa colony full of small aiptasia. She has not touched any large ones but loves to pick the small ones off. This is a great day...

There is a downside: i also witnessed her nip my prized LPS, what can you do:smoker:
