aiptasia removal

Hi All! I took in some cycled rock out of someone else's reef. I was buying a few coral off of him and mentioned he'd get rid of some rock as well because he was consolidating tanks. I know this is a usually frowned upon and well I am now paying the piper in a sense. I am now about two months...

I'm trying to get rid of this Aiptasia so I can move the coral. I've read other posts about removing Aiptasia in general, but this one looks like he's almost part of the coral. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, I have a nano tank and about three tiny aiptasia. Some are in areas I just can’t get to without removing the live rock which is all glued together with frags on it (one is on a frag plug). LFS never have nudis so that’s not an option. Is my only option peppermint shrimp, considering I can’t...

Two fish for sale in the nova area (Ashburn). Both eat very well in my tank. My tank does manage ich, but both show no spots and display no flashing or heavy breathing, but they will need quarantined and treated with copper or hyposalinity in order to eliminate ich if that’s what you wish to do...

- hey do you have aiptasia? I'm hungry. Yes I would like to buy a shrimp to attempt killing aiptasia. Its a hit and miss, yes, I read the disclaimer. I'm in south carolina upstate.

Weird situation. I’ve got an 8 month old 13.5 evo. I haven’t seen any Aiptasia during those 8 months. However, I recently moved the tank’s location and gave it a good clean. Now all of a sudden a few aiptasia have popped up, including one on the back of a frag plug and looks like it’s...

anyone have experience with berghia nudibranchs? I recently came across a 125g with nothing but a moray eel and plenty of aiptasia lol. at first I was thinking peppermint shrimp, but I didn't think the eel would leave them alone. then I thought about berghia, thoughts? open to suggestions always.

Hi everyone, do you know a reliable shop for buying Berghia nudibranch here in Europe? Apparently it’s really hard to buy them, at the moment… i have a bad infestation of aiptasia, due to neglecting my tank in the last couple of months, and i need to get back on track. I’m tempted, as an...

This thread is for the general discussion of the classified ad Berghia Nudibranch. For more information about this item, please click the link or ask a question in this thread. Hello everyone. I recently started culture burghia nudibranch. This is a great natural way to get rid of pest...

I started my reef 2 months ago. I found 1 aiptasia about the size of a quarter last night. :( I want to introduce some aiptasia predators so that long term maintenance is built into my solution. Plus I am lazy. ;) A copperband is more than I want to take on right now, just too delicate this...

https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/first-aiptasia-sighting-what-would-you-do.808233/page-2#post-8647852 notice in the thread the surface with aiptasia was removed from the reef, and what was beside the aiptasia frag was taken off and moved back onto the reef allowing the aiptasia + the surface...

Hey Y'all We know hobbyists want Matted filefish that eat already Aiptasia, so we feed our matted filefish aiptasia and hydroids weekly so they can recognize them in your tanks. Check out the GoPro video below. If you have a huge Aiptasia problem I recommend a few of these guys with our...

Hi So I adopted an established reef tank a few months back. I managed to get on top of an aiptasia issue in the display tank... But recently noticed there are a few in the back chamber on one of the filter media bags. I'm worried if I remove it I'm gonna remove the beneficial bacteria. But if...

Hello everybody, So I have a question. I have been dealing with a aiptasia problem. After a couple weeks I am finally getting it under control. Just keeps coming back because I am probably missing some under a rock. I have been killing it with AiptasiaX. But my question is in the future when...

Hi all just wondering if anyone got any experience on here in buying and raising aptasia eating berghia nudibranch Eggs to deal with Aiptasia control, my display is free of aips but I want to deal with the ones on the weir and in the sump. And am definitely not sending my CP in there as is thigh...

Hi there! Last night I discovered a few tiny Aiptasias on a rock that came with a coral. (Like the frag plugs, just that its a tiny rock.) As far as I can tell the aiptasias are only on that rock. I am wondering how to face them appropriately. I was wondering if its an idea to take the coral...

I have some large aiptasia living on the bottom of my overflow. I can isolate the overflow from the aquarium. If I than remove the water from the overflow and pour in straight vinegar will that eradicate them? Or does anyone have a better day idea? Larry

Hi @Randy Holmes-Farley can you please advice if there is anything concerning on my DIY Aiptasia killing solution? I have been using this recipe for around 4 years, without a problem, on my SPS dominated reef tanks and my experience is positive. However, I was wondering if it could be...

Hello, I have a bit of a small aiptasia infestation in one of my tanks, I have tried using aiptasia x, but for every one I kill, 10 more take its place. Will a filefish help, or is it a lost battle? I also found a bonded pair of filefish for sale, but can't find anything on how that works, any...

I'm having trouble containing aiptasias in my tank right now. I used Aiptasia away before but it seems to just make them recede for a couple of weeks and then come back. I would like to hear more options on how to completely kill them.

2 part question: lol ok so I don’t have the luxury of going into a store (maybe once or twice a year) that actually has corals.... I am in the works of building my son a zoa garden... so far I’ve been pleased with the company I’ve been ordering from (very little hitchhikers- even after...

I am wondering how many people have used Berghia Nudibranchs for an infestation of Aiptasia? I have always used Red Sea Aiptasia-X in the past to treat them as they spring up here and there. However, in the past 2 months or so they have gotten so out of hand all of a sudden. In my nano cube I...

Hi all, I’m about to use joes juice for my Aiptasia, and I have a few questions. 1. If any of Juice gets into my good bubbletip anemone, will it kill it? 2. Is ok to use for anemones in my filtration area (biocube)? 3. If my fish try to eat it, will they be alright?

Hi all, I’ve got about 3 aiptasia and I’m going to purchase joes juice. Only question I have, is it safe to use around my good anemones, they’re somewhat close to aiptasia, and also is it safe to use for one attached to my maxima clam? When injection I’ll turn off flow to maximize accuracy

So I tried getting this Aiptasia out of my tank, but my pliers just wouldn’t reach into that area. I’m thinking I’ll try something different in the morning, is it ok to leave it like this?
