A little update on my aiptasia experience. As I posted above aiptasia and xenia just don't seem to be able to live in my tank.

Got a nice Acro this weekend and it had an apstatia on it's rock base.

Day One: Fully expanded
Day Two: Shrivelled up
Day Three: Gone, no where to be seen.

I don't know if my longnose (new addition) or another inhabitant ate it, but I didn't see a single critter go near it at all. I even did some after lights out peeping.

It's nice to be lucky in at least one area of the reefing hobby.
Maybe I should bottle and sell my waste water as Scav's Juice. LOL!

I've had few aptasia one of my tanks, but they mostly seem to attach to the peltata cualerpa. I cut the shoot it is on and *flush*. I cant/wont risk the peppermint shrimp (Tank is home for my 2.5 foot snowflake eel) so I have had a copperband butterfly added. Seems to work great!
