it does and it does'nt,anyone else?

Flipper · 11-20-2003, 01:21 PM

I only had aptasia once, but it was brown.

Scooterman · 11-20-2003, 01:40 PM

I had a bad outbreak, that looks like it aptasia, AKA Glass same thing. It looks a little light but there are variations. Kill it!
They still are coming back & I read so much! I ordered Joes Juice, from JoesJuice.com, it is said to be the best. After my order he replied twice. They say this stuff kills them permanently. Kalk paste works but leaves chance for them coming back & they will. Copperban, peppermint shrimps are options but when they bite, some parts gets away to grow more elsewhere. I had a bad outbreak because I didn't know what it was but then it was popping up everywhere! UGGGGGG!

I found some in my tank about a month ago. I then left them alone because I was being lazy and I did not have a needle. I have been trying t use the kalk paste method, but at this point there are little POS all over the place. Man oh man, I wish my BTA would split like this.

Some of them I have hit 3-4 times and they seem to grow. Damn them.

This headache all because I let someone store a piece of rock in my tank for a week. Last time I will ever be nice. lol

Jakets,

Thanks. One of our forums is going to be an "ID" forum. This post will certainly get moved there when it's up.

Thanks!!

So far this is the best results, that I've found!

TDEVIL · 11-20-2003, 05:54 PM

a great idea

here is a pic that i took

TDEVIL · 11-20-2003, 05:56 PM

ok here it is

jks1 · 11-20-2003, 06:50 PM

not sure but that could be some form of Phymanthus sp (sand anenome), if it is it is safe for reef, but maybe not for small fish

TDEVIL · 11-20-2003, 07:08 PM

are you talking about my pic???

it would have to be a very small fish

it is only about 1/2" tall (if that)
i had about 6 sprout up after my tank crashed

and i have been fighting them ever since

fidojoe · 11-20-2003, 07:17 PM

I feel left out

I want aptaisia......NOT! Jeez, I'm glad I haven't had to deal with that yet!

BoomerD · 11-20-2003, 11:42 PM

I'm with Scooterman. Joe's juice has done grat things to my aptasia!

I tried mixing up some of the Mrs Wages pickling lime, the aptasia acted like I had fed them vitamins. Joe's Juice had killed every one I'v "fed" it to. It sure does look like kalk though!

sorcerer · 11-21-2003, 12:27 AM

I've had my share of aptasia and I was successful with peppermint shrimp. I have had one come in on a small piece of live rock that is in my 'fuge, I will be getting rid of him soon....of course if any of you really want him, I'll be happy to send him to you...LOL
