Try feeding the aiptasia with crushed up flake food, the peppermint shrimp will then go nuts eating the rest, it's kind of like training them to eat it, it works I've had success with it in years prior, currently pestless, right now I am my own worst enemy, killed a dozen or so frags dosing too much carbon trying to lower nitrates, had a bloom and didn't back off my dose... although I've carbon dosed a year or two back with great success, every tank is different and I learned the hard way, too much bacteria with a bloom equals not enough oxygen, sigh like you said live, pay the price and learn.An update...
Finally cleaned the 90. A pain to say the least. I used a 48x48x12 kiddie pool. Taking them out was easy, but placing them back in my 30x30 was challenging.
I knew I had aptasia, but these things are huge! I bought 50 peppermint shrimps months ago hoping they would eat them, but after cleaning i cant find a single one. Ill probably try a Copperband next.
Dennis that thing is just crazy!This piece has been with me since October 2014. It didnt look like much. But it is finally showing its color... magnificent!
