Until about a week ago I had anywhere from 10-20 aiptasia at any given time. I was blasting them with a turkey baster of boiled RO water but it seemed there was always more. Last Saturday I picked up 3 Peppermint, an Emerald Crab, Custodian PKG 4 and 10 extra Nassarius snails from J&L along as my cleaner crew. I counted 15 Aiptasia when I dropped everyone in and opted not to turkey baste for 1 week to see what happened. The PS were quite small compared to pics I'd seen and I was concerned that they would not be able to handle the bigger Aiptasia's. As of today I can see 2 Aiptasia in my tank on the rock right out front. The PS have been reluctant to come out into the open, but I am leaving those 2 as a control to see if they will be removed as well.
In my books the PS's rock!!
