Berghia

I purchased a CBB not long ago, didn't make it. Never had much luck! Any other animal I get, Klein's, or filefish, does job but eats coral eventually. I've really stepped up recently and every weekend, turn off everything, and nuke with Aiptasia X, and/or F Aiptasia. They both really do work. I just make sure I leave zero flow in the tank, or very little for 40 minutes. If you worry about the lack of oxygen, drop in an air stone. I've also bought some extended syringe needles from amazon, so I can reach everywhere. Came with a large syringe as well so you don't need to constantly refill. Also bought the large bottle of Aiptasia X to make it more economical. I've noticed a huge difference lately. Just have to be consistent. I wish I could find the perfect fish to control it, but I don't think they exist. Have tried berghias as well, but be careful if you have wrasses. Expensive food.

Aiptaisia X is the same as Mrs. Wages pickling lime, no? And if so, don't they just come back in baby form?

Sorry I am a noob. Only have a 40g which is way too small for those giant plecos

I'm not sure, I've never compared the two. I've had so many the last few months, I can't tell which ones are new, or if something has come back. I will say I had a couple on my sand bed, and really covered them, left it alone for about 40 minutes, and I haven't noticed aiptasia in those spots again.

I've been reefing for getting close to 30 years now. The aiptasia thing is the most searched out thing for reefers since the internet became a thing. I'm not sure there's any perfect answer. I can say my best experience was a Kleins butterfly. They absolutely eat aiptasia and manjanos. Ugly fish, but kept my tank sparkling clean. Then he discovered acans. :angryfire:
