aptasia issue

[tattoofreak]

my guys pretty big and hovers around if i wanted to catch him I'm sure i could pretty quick i don't see him being a huge issue.

once again this is just my luck i have heard bad things but my 120 had HUNDREDS of aiptasia and they are ALL gone clean everywhere

I usually recommend 2 per 10 gallons but you could probably get by with 10. So it will cost you a little more in the beginning.
I live about 15 west of Medina so almost an hour from you. I could overnight to you for pretty cheap too.

I'm sure they would i didn't really see it in my 120 but with a couple of those and the filefish they were gone. i will say when i tore the 120 down i did have a good amount of nudis so they were breeding

Was the filefish hard to catch or he didnt bother anything else..

What are you selling them for?

he hasn't touched anything i have sps, zoas, acans, lps, no issues at all. he's eating flake food, and everything he's cool

if i had to catch him i don't see it being hard

If the nudis were still in there, I am sure they had a lot to do with the aips disappearing. I hear it all the time after people put them in and never see them again until one day 3-4 months later all the aips are gone. It seems like it happens overnight after a population explosion. You could always take your chances with just a few but they are very small and very slow moving. Chances are in a tank that big they will never find each other to reproduce

Yeah I'm not saying they didn't have anything to do but I actually saw the filefish eating I'm sure it was a combo of both either way they both worked

I've had several tasseled filefish or matted filefish and only one picked at a couple of my corals. Anthelia and mushrooms. All 3 I've had cleaned me out of aiptasia and mojanos I had both very bad in certain tanks over the year.

I can vouch that they're probably the easiest fish to catch, ever.

I have one now that was in a reef tank for 3 years and never are any corals. Only aiptasia and mojanos. I put him in my fowlr for bio load reasons but he's wonderful.

I highly recommend them they're easy to trade or rent after they're done. 1/3 ate coral for me and only after mojanos or aiptasia were all gone (took him a couple weeks to transition)

This might be the route.. give it a try.. they are cheaper fish and if they work great, if not I can qt and return for peppermint..
