Aiptasia

[ReefRiley]

Hey guys :rapture:
so i have a 40 gallon reef with a 40 gallon sump/fuge, and i started noticing a bunch of little aiptasia's all over my rocks, is there any way to KILL them without hurting anything else in my tank? i want to go completely natural so no chemicals if possible, thx for the help

I have a matted filefish that will eat it... I had hundreds in my tank and he ate all of them!! lol

I'll sell it for $10

 

[ReefRiley]

were r u located and is he 110% reef safe?
i have all corals and id be so sand if anything happend to them, but id love to take u up on the great offer! will he eat mysis and flake?

 

[Puffalicious]

located in Azusa.

I can't guarantee he's reef safe.. I've seen him pick on my duncan only... anything that looks like aiptasia I guess, but that's after there are no more aiptasia in the tank.

he only eats mysis right now, I can't seem to get him on flakes.

Search for my thread on Berghia. I could meet you in San Juan Capistrano if you take the Ortega Hwy or San Clemente if you come from the south on the 5fwy

I have a new bunch of Berghia nudibranchs which eat Aiptasia (and nothing else). I have a thread on it so I won't go into all the details about them. Just search for the thread "Berghia" and read it. You are not that far away (as the crow flys - hahahaha). I am in south OC if you are interested.

If you have a bunch of small aiptasia it would be hard to get them with chemicals anyway.

OK - Just for you I will bump it up behind your thread.
