You think you have aiptasia? Look here.

Klein Butterfly fish work extraordinary for a real infestation problems, the problem is after they are all gone, some kleins tend to pick at corals, I have two kleins in my farm tank and have not had any issues with aptasia or them picking at the corals in several years. Of course for one or two in your tank a squirt of kalkwasser into their belly works like a charm. Have to watch your calcium level of course.

Man, I really don't like they way they look at all though.

The Haitian is supposed to be real good too for Aiptasia.

You can live dangerous and try a raccoon butterfly. Mine is a breast and ridding my tank of aptasia. Just can't have any other nems in the tank and he is hit or miss with other corals in the tank.

Nah, I really like the Copper Band Butterfly Fish. Thanks.

Anyone trying the kalk paste, watch out for nearby corals nearby/downstream... they will get burned too.

eBay I would of probably bought them :LOL: However, I used joes juice on the few i had. It worked like a charm.

Can anyone post a picture of these as little new borns or close to it. I think I may have them but not sure. I bought a cultured piece of LR and I think it came in on that but there so little I just cant tell.

Here a pic of Aiptasia

the most effective to me was the filefish. they munch on it like hungry wolves. but later you have to remove it when they finish the aiptasia or they start eating polyps. i just place the fish in another FOWLR. if the problem arises again I put him back. I 've done this about two times now and no more as of now. Peppermints are great too (the Caribbean one).

The Majano Wand is another cool way to zap them.

I have read a lot on using Berghia nudibranch to eat them if you get a large populaton.

 

[Coraljunkie]

I may go the berghia way. I just found a few on the back side of one rock. Hopefully the berghia will take care of them or at least keep them in check. Luckily I have a store near me who grows aptasia in a specific tank and raises berghia nudibranchs in it.
