Anyone want to do group order from Saltyunderground? (aptasia nudis)
Just curious as to if anyone on here would be interested in ordering a bunch of these nudis.... I don't want to do it myself as I only need 2 at the most... I have a few aptasia I want to get rid of. And these seem like a sure fire bet.
Anyone out there? The more the better.... I haven't looked into prices and what not yet I was just curious as to if there is any interest first. Scott

Scott,
Have you not tried boiling water? Worked the best for me, then i had a peppermint shrimp to clean the rest up. Never had a problem since. Just a suggestion though......sorry to jump on your thread. Steve

No worries at all...
I haven't used boiling water, but I have used very hot tap water... maybe I need to use some boiled water ? I also am supposed to order a peppermint off the clean-up crew order, but I am not sure what's happening there. Also, one reason why I wanted a nudi was because I have an aptasia growing in the middle of a zoo colony  Great spot.... Some are also getting quite large... and I highly doubt a peppermint will eat them.

Scott,
It has to be boiling water for it to work effectively. I have a small syringe and tip, that i got when i purchased joes juice, that you can use. I had hundreds of tiny ones in my tank. I nuked the large ones with boiling water and the peppermint took care of the rest. I guess i was lucky that i got a peppermint that attacked the aptasia. I heard its hit or miss depending on the species. Steve

Okay, so boiling water it is. I don't have a syringe, but I work in a health center, so I am sure I can get one no problems
 (im so slow, all this time it never crossed my mind that there is probably a swack of syringes around this place...  )Going to try this out tonight if I can get my hands on a syringe!

If the boiling water does not work I will go in on an order.. Boiling water has not worked for me.. it seems it kills them and then it seams they spread.. I had 2 in my tank and now I have about 10 that I try to kill on a regular basis, the more I kill the more i seem to get..
Joes' jiuce does not work for me either,, I may try some stong Kalkwasser this weekend. I am at wits end here Jim
