Aiptasia For Sale
- Thread starter Drew Shark

Someday if I have the time I might do a post. They are surprisingly hardy. Remember they eat aiptasia and aiptasia usually grow when your water quality deteriorates. Also I pull them out of my filter sock every time I clean it. They look like little cream colored blobs (not having eaten for a week) all beat up with half of their cerata missing. I pick them out and feed them an aiptasia and within a few days they are good to go. I would say greater than 80% survive the filter sock experience.
I have heard 1 for every 10 gals, but I recommend putting them in your sump (at least 3) and rotating your rock through there. As you rotate your rock they lay egg strands on it which go back into your display tank and hatch. Soon you have a healthy colony and your aiptasia start to disappear.

They don't eat anything else and are "reef safe". They won't die if you can pull them out of your tank (or filtersock) and pass them on/sell them to someone who needs them. Wrasses supposedly eat them as well as other fish that hunt the rocks. Pepermint shrimp as well. I have a Coral Banded Shrimp that didn't seem to bother them and my Pseudochromis also left them alone although my tank is pretty well fed so who knows?
