What is your most hated pest?

[goochesfish]

Mine is the Montipora eating Nudibranch. I've found it impossible to eradicate and it causes so much damage.

If it counts, bubble algea.

Vermitid snails. Really hard to get rid of them, pokes my hands all the time. Annoys my corals.

Flatworms, vermetid snails. I always dip my corals and inspect them and have avoided introducing aeolid nudibranchs by doing this.

I dip all my corals too and it was over 3 months before a nudi showed up. Very frustrating for sure.

Asterina Starfish

 

[aleonn]

Aiptasia, closely followed by vermatid snails. No matter what I do, they come back, and sometimes in greater numbers.

Ich, IMO its harder to get rid of then any other pest mentioned.


But on a side note, I'm surprised no one said their wife lol when it comes to this hobby, she's usually the biggest pest of all!

How are these pests? I have hundreds, if not thousands and I have never noticed a problem.

cyanobacteria, one of the ugliest pests when your tank is covered in it. also, i hate vermitid snails, aiptasia, and diatoms.

Yup for sure, going on 2 months of cleanup on a small outbreak. Annoying pest to clear up.

I"m not sure if this would be considered a pest (or nuisance) but my nomination would be the dreaded Bryopsis.
