aptasia eating nudis

[siren]

I'm from the OMAS and figured I'd post this here too for those of you interested.

I just got 3 of these guys from Mitch at the OK Aquarium. They seem to be doing great, and if all goes well, all of my aptasia should be gone in a few months. If you guys would like some, he still has like 9 that he needs to get rid of before the X-Mas break. Their $15 a piece, and I think that they'd be worth it!

Here's his info if you're interested:

You considering selling yours once their job is done? If I remember correctly they eat soley upon aptasia and without a steady supply they will perish. I'm aptasia free myself, but I hear alot of complaints around oklahoma. Just a thought for ya to ponder over.

yeah, I'll probably pawn mine off on someone once the job is done. I only put 3 in but by the time that the last aptasia is gone, I'll easily have a few hundred. They lay about 100 eggs a day when they reach adult hood. The ones mitch has right now are sub adults and are about a week from being sexually mature.
