Filefish or CBB fish (Temporary) wise might be best if you don't want to go the chemical route. Not sure how either would play with your less than friendly inhabitants though. Aptaisia X works really well for just a few of them to help prevent an outbreak, you don't need to use much.
Heard a lot of good success with boiling water into mouth.
2 watt laser if they are legal where you live. Make sure to check if they are legal as I have a friend who got into legal trouble just for ordering one.I guess I should have mentioned what else I have.
Painted angler
Warty angler
Yellow tang
Valentini puffer
Lightening maroon clown
Snowflake clown
And the golden dwarf eel
I think I’d be most worried about the file and the puffer
Boiling water into mouth worked for me until I had one that was hard to reach... ended up with 100 baby clones around it.
If you do go that route make sure you get it good on the first shot.
Yeah like I told travis, I used to inject big ones with a needle and lemon juice. But these guys are smart and in tiny hole and hard to reach places (for me) haha
I’ll have to look into them. Will they bother my other corals after a while? Or is it one of those that if it doesn’t have any Aiptasia it will die?Berghia nudibranches
Hmmmm I’ll have to look into this Aiptasia zapping lazer! Thank you!2 watt laser if they are legal where you live. Make sure to check if they are legal as I have a friend who got into legal trouble just for ordering one.
Aptasia X + copperband cleared my tank's infestation within a week.
It's been months now and I can't seem to spot even a single aptasia in the tank..
I do like file fish. Do you think it would be okay with my valentini puffer?Boiling hot water is only going to irritate it and go into protection mode and populate. Yes you will damage the heck out of it. But.. it only takes ONE cell for it to reproduce/grow back.
Lemon juice can make your pH go funky. I believe it can raise it really high.
File fish or Copper Band Butterfly is your best bet. Peppermint shrimp are like 20/80 chance. Once they enjoy the food you feed the tank. Forget about it.
I’ll have to try it. I have no problems getting tubing or syringes, it’s just getting it to those dang devil cnidarians!!!If you can reach them with either a large gauge needle or even a piece of rigid airline tube, I have had good luck with a Kalk paste. Not sure if you would consider this a chemical or not. I mix up a thick slurry (think mayonnaise) put it in a syringe, most often 6ml since that is what I have on hand, turn off all your flow/pumps and inject a little pile of the thick Kalk right over top of the Aptasia. You do not have to inject the animal just cover its home. You can get syringes at the farm supply or your vet. If you can't reach with the needle, just use a short piece of airline tube to connect rigid airline to the syringe.
This I would not know.I do like file fish. Do you think it would be okay with my valentini puffer?
