Are these okay?

[spartanrob]

My wife says that she read that they can spread rapidly and take over your tank. Should I take this out?

 

[Varga]

nope, not good. Youre wife is right. kill em using joe's juice.

Apstasia

 

[spartanrob]

Okay, thank you. Is Joe's Juice something that I can get at my LFS

 

[goldenmacman]

yeah
there are multiple aptasia killing products but Joes Juice is one of the most popular and effective brands

 

[AndtheBonus]

Yup. If not Aptasia-X by Red Sea works too!

 

[Varga]

Okay, thank you. Is Joe's Juice something that I can get at my LFS

I got some on Ebay for very cheap

 

[plecosword]

I'm wondering how joes juice works, can you use it in the tank like aiptisia x or do you have to take the rock out?

 

[nicoleblkwidow]

Try boiling RO/DI water and injecting it into the aiptasia. Then you can use a baster to suck up any loose pieces. This is how we keep our in check. Just a thought (and cheap one too!).

Peppermint shrimp work too.

 

[aznDragonX]

I don't think you want those unless you try to breed Berghia Nudis. Peppermint shrimp will work but you have to starve them first.

 

[Jeremy0322]

Yea, from what I have heard peppermint shrimp are pretty much hit or miss with these guys, but on the plus side it adds some more life and movement to a tank.

 

[plecosword]

Peppermint usually work, maybe if you get 2. They are not too expensive either.

 

[Phreek]

peppermints work well, but if your not looking to get another life form I have used Joe's Juice with great success,just dont accidentally squirt it on anything else in the tank. I ruined a colony of zoas that way.

 

[spartanrob]

I picked up two peppermint shrimp last night so we'll see how they do.

 

[cioutlaw]

I put 20 peppermints in my tank & had no luck at all. Think my Hawk fish might have eventually killed the peppermint shrimp! Haven't seen any in awhile.
