The Good Ol' Aptasia

[Hentz]

So I've been seriously so busy between work, school, and my new single social life. I haven't had time to take much care of my tank aside from feeding and adding water to my ATO.

That being said, I've had s couple aptaisa pop ups before, but it's getting a little out of hand..

How would I get rid of them? I've got a solid 30 maybe, to be honest.

I was thinking a FileFish, slow and easy to catch once finished with. Though I don't want him eating at my SPS polyps nor do I want him eating my zoanthids.

Would I be safe to you guys think with one or?

Also, iffy on peppermint shrimp since I have a Malenerous Wrasse

Use kalkwasser with a little bit of water.... like a paste. quickly cover the head and leave it for 3-4 hours. when you go back, itll be dead, and blow off kalk. Even if you go to your lfs, theyll sell you a little thing of kalkwasser in water, for the same price as a huge amount of just kalk.

Had the same issue and tried all the above recommendations. The only thing that worked for me was this guy:http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/...303&ref=4395&subref=AA&cmpid=PPC-G-B-4395&t=1 and he wiped them out.

I have SPS, a few acans and a clam and he's hasn't bothered any of them

I use Aptasia X. The other way to get rid of them is set a small piece of rubble rock on them they will move onto the rock then just throw the small piece away and it is 100% gone.

I use copperbands and peppermint shrimp. Neither seem to want to get the huge ones, so I just kalk those (as described above), but they do keep the new/little ones under control. Kein butterfly is pretty good too.
