I have an ENORMOUS amount of aipstasia in my tank. And many are HUGE. It's bad, OK? I'll post some pics in a bit....Given my own laziness and time with graduate school, I never got around to eradicating them, so now they are out of control. Now that I am on winter break, I can dedicate some time in starting to work on the problem.
So....how would you eradicate massive amounts of aipstasia? I've tried peppermint shrimp, but they never go for the aipstasia because I tend to feed my tank often due to the amount of fish, so they never acquire a taste for it. Plus, I have wrasses, so they make expensive snacks. Never tried berghia nudibranches due to cost and my wrasses and for my fear that the aipstasias are far too large for them.
I'm planning to acid bath some infested rock, but I know they'll be reinfested. Any suggestions? I am able to add any kind of aptasia eating fish since I lost most of my large fish in a crash recently. I only now have two small tangs which appear more peaceful than the other larger tangs I used to have.
