Device to SUCK up Aptaisia

[mseepman]

You always get a Copper Banded Butterfly fish. They regularly eat Aiptasia.

another option is a berghia nudi.I've never had any problem with aptasia but if I did I think this would be my choice.They are apparently aptasia eating machines and all the people that I've heard of using them say there great.might be worth looking into.Clint

peppermint shrimp always did it for me too

If you would have asked me last November I would have given a 100% yes for peppermints as between kalk and them I went to zero aptasia and stayed that way until recently.

Now have noticed in about the last month a few small aptasia have come back but peppermint isn't interested. Have though gone from two to just one (second shrimp has been MIA since about March).

I managed to 'suck' up a bunch last night during my water change. I replaced the vacuum end of the python with the end of a baister to creat a hi velocity vacuum. It worked pretty good, however only on the larger ones. I found that in order to suck them from the rock, you had to hold the vacuum over them of about 10 seconds or at least until they let go.

I also purchased a half dozen peppermint shrimp to eat the rest... I hope.
