APTASIA its good for your tank?

VERY BAD. They kill coral in your tank, especialy zoanthids.

They multiply like weeds, and then they settle right amoung the zoanthids and prevent them from opening until they die. They are nearly impossible to get rid of once they are established, they just pop everywhere like daisies.

They are the most persistant pest.

You're lucky you only have 2, kill them now before they multiply. I had a problem with them years ago and if your persistent you can eliminate them totally with kalk paste. I also used the help of 2 peppermint shrimp to eat the small ones I couldn't see. The aiptasia are gone but my shrimp are still around, they're greedy and will eat anything you put in the tank after their job is done.
