pest ID
i need you guys to id these, look hairy and they are very small in size, about 1/4" they are infested all over my LR, couples even on my glass. dont really seems to bother the corals, most the corals just encrusted on top of them.
Attachment 4827 thank you |
Looks to me like some Apstisia, their are many products to rid of these , or you could try pepermint shrimps they are know n to eat Apstisia.
|
what are the other products that works on these? i tried peppermints, they dont touch any of them
|
if it it Aptasia, you can use peppermints, or copper banded butterflies (larger tank). Or Berghia Nudibranches
Or use an aptasia destroyer like Tailored Aquatics', or AptasiaX when they get bigger. Ken - BWA |
peppermints doesnt seem to work for me, do u carry berghia nudibranches? not sure if they are apstisia, the seems flat tenticles, apstisia seems to be fat

Nudis...talk to Reef Shoppe
You going to need about 15 or more for a 72g tank... |
also i was arranging my rockwork today, and found this, bad or good?

Looks like so sort of mantis.... Not good for the main tank depending on type and what you plan on keeping....
|
i guess i could throw it away, i kept mainy sps and lps, thanks for the quick reply
|
I can't tell from the first picture what you're talking about the but the shrimp does look like a mantis, and a pretty one at that. Isolate it and try to give it to another reefer, many ppl do keep them as they are very interesting to watch.
