The only issue I can see with adding something to eat the problem away is what happens if they eat you clean. So I inject... with a small bit of satisfaction every time I kill one.

thanks

Google Aptasia Zapper. It's exactly as it sounds haha.

inject it with lemon juice,smother with kalkwasser.make sure you cover the whole foot as this is where the daughter cells are,and most importantly-do this during the day so it won't release the cells.if worse comes to worse and you get a large outbreak-pm me for berghia nudibranches

Most are just done DIY, I have no clue where to buy one I'm sure if you looked you could find one I remember stumbling across a site that carried some kind but that was awhile ago.

I have never had the need, but I would defiantly DIY it, to have the added satisfaction of destruction!!!!

I've found Berghia to be the most effective against aptasia. I bought a CBB and it didn't even touch a single aptasia. I still love him though. Bought 4 Berghia from Martin and my tank is aptasia free within a few days.
