aiptasia
 

well just got back from an 8 day vacation in the Dominican... and look and behold aiptasia! i have a few little guys in the display and i dont think i want to inject them so would a file fish be a good idea? also i have a some green i think hair algae.... one, one inch tuft only in one spot... weird, so what are the suggestions?

aptasia
 

some people have been sugesting to put a shell over the aptaisa-if not and only if you have a few , inject them with lemon juice using a hypo

make up a kalk paste will wipe them out

Hair Algea
 

For you HA, get yourself tang or foxface. Rabbit foxface are really peaceful fish, not territorial as opposed to some tangs but it does a fantastic job on growing algae. Yellow tank also very good.

Aptasia - Copperbands, peppermint shrimp, berghia nudibranches or aptasia eating file fish.

HA - Mexican turbo snails, Sea Hare, scopas tang, or a rabbitfish

Ken - BWA

tanks only 31 G but i might come see you on sunday ken, thanks

A small aptasia eating file fish, would be your best bet. Personally it's too much of a PITA to inject them all the time.

I had very good luck with pepermint shrimp, bought 4 and 3 survived for about a year, still have one left I have had him for almost 3 years now. They had the aptasia all cleaned up in a few weeks and I have never seen any since.
Hair algae I did the 2 mexican turbo snails from BW as Ken suggested and they are doing an excellent job.
My tank is 33 gal, very close to yours Chase.

I have an aptasia eating file fish that eats pods and brittle stars....he don't like aptasia:rolleyes:

if you only have a few-it wouldn't pay to get berghia-if you see 20 or more then 1-2 berghia would be ok for a while-but they would starve after your aptasia is gone
