um yeah you can get aiptasia in Canada, it can come in some frags you get from the lfs or order from onlineI've never had it and never seen it.
Do we even have aptasia in Canada?

Don't make me show you mine. I have two species of them in my Evo.I've never had it and never seen it.

The key for me was that I had a ton of aiptasia growing in my halymenia. I used that in a cultivation jar for berghias (which also served as a quarantine), left it for a couple of weeks with an airstone, and then put it back in the tank. The macro then ended up protecting the nudibranchs from hungry mouths in my display.I go through Binge / Purge episodes with them. Every other water change I go to town with Aptasia X from redsea, but I'm pretty convinced that just makes them multiply cause for every one I killed I saw two more.
Just recently swapped to F - aptasia and I'm very impressed thus far, the trick is to actually follow the directions and turn off all circulation and completely cover the aptasia QUICKLY. They give you a 4ml syringe and for every one I saw I dumped nearly all 4ml over it completely covering it. Left the pumps off for about a half hour while I mounted some frags and I've yet to see any more pop up.
Cautiously optomistic that this was the solution I've been looking for. I'd go the Nudibranch route but unfortunately my wrasses would make exceptionally quick work of them. They're too expensive to end up just a snack for a fish.
That's not a bad idea, I considered throwing some into the sump where my fuge is to allow them to get a foothold, hoping they'd find their way into the DT either through the plumbing or by my hand.The key for me was that I had a ton of aiptasia growing in my halymenia.

You willI never had aiptasia.
From what I’ve read, the nudis make pretty short work of the aptasia. They usually clear a system of aptasia so effectively that the nudibranchs tend to starve to death.I have a fairly new tank and seen a few small ones that went away, and now one large sized one has popped up. I added 5 Berghia's the other night so hopefully they showed up to the party hungry. Anyone know how long they might take to start seeing results? Being so small hard to know if they are even still in there somewhere.
