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 was aptaisia free for years until I traded rock with another reefer and I've been battling them ever since (1 year). Should have practiced safe reefing.

I've been battling the little creatures for quite some time. I find it nearly impossible to eliminate them from my Tank, Refugium, & Overflow all at the same time....

I had two big ones on a piece of tonga, one tiny squirt of joes juice and i've never seen any ever again, YET, it's true what they say it's a pest that almost all reefers have eventually, i didn't think the scourge would ever see my tank but two of them tried and died
