Aiptasia

[motorhead]

Aiptasia break out. Tooo many to treat with Joes Juice.
I recently put in 3 Pepermint Shrimp. Any other ideas?
Copper Banded Butterfly?
Have some Acros, Monti Capri, Frog Spawn and various mushrooms will the Copper band have a feast or dine on the Aiptasia?

Give the pepps some time. They won't eat them overnight.

Buy more peppermint shrimp, I'd pick up about 10

No. Don't buy that many peps. I have 1 in my 80 and ate all my aiptasia. I would say 3 or less.

 

[SDguy]

Yeah, three in my 115g did the job....took a month or two, but did the job.

I had about a hundred aptasia. I bought 6 peppermint shrimp and one Klein's butterfly. The aptasia were gone in a couple of days. the only problem is that the butterfly picks at the polyps and soft corals.

Add lots of pepps, they won't eat em till there good and ready, but once they eat aptasia, they take em out....I have at least 8 pepps in my tank..

 

[ragnaros]

Same here, I have a bunch. They are great and look cool too

Biol Water and fill a seringe with the water sqiurt them directly....It has worked for me..And lots of other people i know...Make sure the water in seringe is the same as toppofff water,so it is safe to add....Good Luck! Tom

If they are large Peppermint shrimp might not work very well.
