Do aiptasia sting nems?

[Drae]

As the title states. Are lta and bubble tips affected by pest nems?

 

[bradleym]

Yes they are

You would think that bigger anemones would just kill the aiptasia. I need to research this more.

I have a theory about that . Which means that I am only going off my experience with one tank. The rest did not have aptasia. But my bta tank had a few aptasia from some live rock. I bought a peppermint shrimp that ate them. And then the shrimp wasveaten soon after. I have been aphasia free since then and I attribute it to having 9 bat's and chemicals making it hard for the aptasia to come back. Like I said it's a theory or the lone peppermint was the most efficient aptasia exterminator ever

aiptasia have a very strong sting, just because something is bigger doesn't mean it has a more potent sting

Aiptasia are an easy fix. .. berghia nudi's have worked well before for me. I got some awesome Florida live (royal purple lol) and plan on a rose bubble and a few lps. I'll just get some nudi's.

Just make sure you don't have any fish that will eat the bergia such as wrasse.
