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

Default aptasia

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.
