aiptasia popping up

[MarkoD]

so i've started to get aiptasia popping up out of the sandbed.

cant see any on the rocks but i guess its only a matter of time.

whats the best way for me to get rid of it?

[Casey8]

I guess it will be much easier to get rid of them by just scooping them up from the sand, because their feet are not stuck deep inside the rock.

Despite Brett's lack of success, I still say filefish is the best solution. Since I moved mine out, I've got aptaisia popping up everywhere too.

shouldnt even bother with peppermint shrimp?

[Casey8]

I have a couple of pepper mint shrimps and they are taking very good care of aptasia for me.

perpermints are working for me too. They seem to take there time with the bigger ones though.

peppermints never did a thing for me except pick at my clams. Filefish ate all my zoas. I finally got rid of my aptasia with berghia nudies. If your aptasia are on the sand gently remove them with a little net. If they are on the sand, they are coming from the rocks.

peppermint shrimp all the way, just cut back on the food so they are good and hungry
