aptasia and majano control - i give up

[reefwars]

You'd think in today's world there'd be a laser for that

[i have crabs]

i got a raccoon butterfly that worked great, once all the aptasia was gone hes started picking at some zoos and button polyps but nothing major

I've got a filefish that cleaned my tank in less than a month. Now it eats mysis...

[reefwars]

I've got a filefish too seems like he does a good job there's none showing and I've seen him pick at it but I put a piece in a small rank popped right back out.

has anybody got experience with majanos and filefish? or is it just aptasia they go for?

As far as I know, only aptaisia. I have several other zoo type critters that came on my rock, and they're still there. Doesn't touch my LPS either.

Filefish in general aren't considered reefsafe I don't think, i'm pretty sure it's just the matted filefish that eats it and they do nip at other corals mine nips and gorgs ,zoa's and my brains but if I keep it fed with mysis he's good and he's gettin better I think in time he won't touch anything. Can't say for sure he's devouring the aiptasia but o know as soon as he was added it dissappeared . If you get one look into if it has to be a matted or not and their very fun fish to watch very slow and very very ugly but beautiful at the same time

well that all depend on the value of your zoanthids. not a fish to have if you have 50$ per polyp purple hornet like I do and some other rare zoa. Plus they grow so slowly.
