I used a zapper for a while, they do work, untill I got a CBB. In less than a week it cleaned my aiptasia and all the feather dusters(I had a real infestation). CBB= #1

Hummm surprised no one mentioned matted filefish, I had about 1000 heads in my 180 he wiped them out in a few months, sadly now he is carpet food I picked The bones out last night :(

What I was doing was thaw out some mysis, drain out the liquid and mix in with kalk to make a paste. Load a large bore syringe and feed (not inject) the pests. What I couldn't reach, the peppermint dealt with.

This should be a checklist poll. I used a combo of nudibranche, peppermint shrimp and aptasia X due to the volume of growth I had. Low and behold, I won after 6 months of battling!

aptasia
 
tried joes juice-just made a mess and blew around from my wave box-made kaulkwasser paste-better than joes juice-injected them with lemonjuice-worked good but you can't get all the buggers-finally used berghia-took time but it eradicated them-and the bonus is i sold the offspring to my local aquatic store
