Also Tim just told me that Tom might be looking for them as he is farming berghia !
 
Corals dot com sells them for $35 for a 25 pack AND charges shipping.
Im rich Tim! You of course get a percentage for letting me know this 😆
 
It took me two peppermint shrimps and about three months to eradicate any from my tank . Then about a month later the shrimp died and no more Aiptasia then and since .
Really!? I got one in the past and all it ate where corals! Then I put him in my wifes tank and he ate one of her tube nems tentacles off. Then I put him in the bayou!
