Wow lots of interest again! I will spear head the order after my midterms & projects are out of the way and will let everyone know then. Should be within the next few weeks if everything goes well.

If I decide to go through with it due to mortality rates Kevin @ Red Coral will be helping me facilitate the order. He plans on breeding them so keep checking with him or myself, the order will probably go through near the end of the month but I will keep everyone posted.

I apologize about the wait though, I haven't had a full day off in over a month now due to school and work but with the semester ending shortly I should be g2g.

Hay if you ‘z all are looking for an aptasia eating machine I have tried and had decent luck with a “Matted Filefish”….
I was not sure this would work when I first bought one but as soon as the little sucker hit my reef it didn’t even have its tail out’a the bag and it slurped up a small aptasia,(no lie) I knew I was in luck in my fight. The Matted Filefish took out the Zoa-size baby Aptasia and I hit the larger ones with “Stop aptasia” by “Chem Marine”. I had a 120g tank and 50+- aptasia, and within a month and a lot of work hitting the dandelions of the reef, I was down to only 5 or so.
Now this fish can grown fast and eats brine & mysis shrimp and other fish food also, and is a cool looking fish for the reef.
Colby at Elite” has them almost in every shipment and could get them in if requested.
Also I didn't notice it nipping at my corals at all but it had lots of aptasia to eat so it might be something to watch for in it's adult stage.

The "stop-aptasia" is great and is safe for the reef and other anemone's, just dont kill to many at one time as it will sour-up your tank if they are not removed in time.
oh ya!!! and Bristle worms Really don't like the Stop Aptasia either, so much so I would call it stop aptasia/Bristle worms.... =oD

Thanks for the heads up Gord, I wanted to stick away from the filefish as I heard there was a chance they would end up going after my zoas. So far the copperband seems to be working away @ them, its slow but I have seen him munch on them.

You could always put them Zoes in my reef if needed Levi............. just to be safe. =oD

I will test it out with the filefish and let you know what comes of the my wonderfully acquired zoa population Vs Filefish & aptasia (AKA glass tip's).
P.S. if anyone's gona be try'n the “Stop Aptasia”, before injecting the mouth full using the applicator, I suggest coating the tentacles first as to prevent the jettison of the tips.
And yes it is best to have the current off during and after for a minimum of 10mins for best results. The Aptasia should be dead in 2hours and can be eaten by your cleaning crue but better to suck it out with turkey baser.
