what creatures will eat this
or what is the best way to get rid of this

copper band butterfly will eat them up. or you can use a needle of kalk and shoot it in its mouth.

Not if this is in your reef. They are not reef safe.

I wouldnt suggest a copperband if you have clams also,other than that they are ok.

i used kalk paste and a turkey baster, havent seen em back.

 

[tomu]

I would agree with peppermint shrimp.

I just had my first aptasia show up in a piece of newer live rock in my QT tank. One shot of Joe's Juice and I've never seen it again!

Peppermint Shrimp will take care of them. You may have to juice the biggest ones though. Once the really big ones are gone P Shrimp will keep them from returning.

i agree with the kalk method! peppermint shrimp are good too

 

[Clown-N-Around]

Peppermint shrimp keep mine under control.

I've given in. I just grow them. You can see many colorful (brown) tanks on ebay, and it is possible to purchase these rare anemonies.... see my webpage soon, www.aptasiastink.com
