I purchased a tank that came with large numbers of Aptaisia
Commercial aptaisia products, lemon juice , kalwasser, boiling H2O will beat back the ones you get a direct hit on...a lot of time and effort and then they are back again...usually with a bunch more family members! The copperbanded I have doesn't seem to notice them, the peppermint shrimps made no difference and disappeared over time. Sprung's reference suggested a huge number of peppermint shrimp so perhaps the 6 I had wasn't adequate. Next I will try Berghia..who knows perhaps that will work. Fortunately, to date, the corals don't seem to mind the Aptasia as much as I do..they grow side by side among the zoas and are within the nooks and crannies of of the digi. However I would like them gone. |

There was a good article on aptasia in this month's reefkeeping magazine.
http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....efkeeping-101- If you're going the berghia route I'd suggest reading it. Apparently they get eaten quickly in a tank so it's best to breed them in a separate system and constantly add the young to your DT. |

You are going to need about 3 berghi per gal...better to buy 20 shrimp and hope. Has anybody tried crazy glue?
