spiders ??

[treejohnny]

hey what can we do about spider control with reef tanks ?

What kind of spiders are you talking about?

I have personally "plucked" the zoanthid spiders off of zoanthid polyps using tweezers. Obviously, that is not a feasible long-term solution.

There is a CMAS member, Hans Frans, who posted a thread some time ago where he reports that his Yellow Coris Wrasse ate his zoanhtid spiders.

I have a Yellow Coris, and since introducing him, the few flatworms I had in my tank are now nowhere to be seen.

treejohnny,
I use a paper towel, you can pick it up at a grocery store in the paper product section, handy product it is!
can even wipe up spills
this product has been around for years, can't believe you haven't tried it yet
heck, if you can't find it next time I see you I'll bring a role
