Anenome

For the fish trap, Wendell at OA in Delta sells them (they work great!).

Has anyone had their CBB picking at corals? I tried pepermint shrimp to get rid of aptasia and it worked in my nano but not in any other tank. I don't have any clams, but I do have a BTA as well as some sofites and LPS.

You could try getting a small fish hook and line, and fish him out. Put something on the hook that looks like aiptaisa, or a piece of aiptaisa, and you should have no problems. Make sure you remove the barbs from the hook though.

Some people have had luck with fishing their fish out. I stopped short of suggesting it because the one and only time I tried it, it didn't work out so well for me. Plus when you go to Fishin' Tales or whatever the store is that you get fishing hooks from and ask them for one 1/8" hook to catch a fish out of your fish tank is priceless, and then they look at you even funnier when you explain that using a net is out of the question. Here, if you want an amusing read, read about my attempt to catch a sixline here: http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...d.php?t=27132&

However, it may be worth a shot if you think you're up to trying it. Definitely use pliers or something to get the barb off the hook though so that you don't injure the fish too badly. I dunno, maybe I'm just not cut out for fishing.

Thanks for all the ideas guys. I got my trap all setup last night and baited it and I also threw a couple large nets in the tank just to get him used to it. Well every other fish dissapeared into the rock work once I did that except the racoon. He practically swam into the net. So he is living in the sump for now clearing that tank of aiptasia.

I got him at Elite earlier this year and it was quite intriging watching him blow on each aiptasia to get it to withdraw some and then bam the Aipatsia is gone. But yes he picked on snails, polyps, LPS, and my anenomes afterwords.

Crongrats on catching him.
