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.

Sweet !! It does take a while for the little ones to get going I'm thinking. Do you think we will have a problem when they don't have any more aip to eat?

No problem if the aiptasia run out, they will just start in on your soft corals...

The thought occurred to me too that I wonder what he'll move onto when the aiptasia is all gone. However, mine eats mysis (in fact, it's the only time I see him: about 30 seconds each day - I put in the mysis, he materializes out of nowhere, chases down each mysis shrimp, zip, zap, zot .... and then poof, disappears again. I can't believe how good he is at camoflaging and hiding). So hopefully that will be good enough to keep him placated..
