Really? Hahahaha my guy has yet to touch one. Colby even was over helping me out a couple weeks ago (tank disaster ) and he noticed that the tank mine is in is aiptasia hell, he was all "well I guess he isn't doing his job..". What is with me and always getting the ones that don't do what they're supposed to? <sigh...>

At least yours is working out as hoped for. That's awesome.

Elite in the south regularly has a few in stock. Think I saw some on Friday. I haven't really seen them at any other store. But I don't get out much to the north end so maybe YMMV..

I got mine from Red Coral. They were already eating aiptasia (and mysis) there. It took him a few weeks to make an impact, but I am very pleased.

Does yours look like this Tony?

Mine must have read the email he got from yours, Deb. In the last week and a half, all of a sudden the aiptasia are disappearing. Not 100% yet but they used to be everywhere, now I have to look for them. And the filefish has gotten bigger. Had him 6 months easily, not a single aiptasia eaten, then this thread comes along and .... poof. So, uh, thanks for asking your fish to tell my fish where it's at.
