Aptasia outbreak!

[SaltyCrew4u]

I have a 36G reef aquarium I have had for 3 years. We just made the move from San Diego to North Texas about 2 months ago. I had several aptasia before the move. I kept all fish, corals and live rock. Now the medium aptasia are large and I have baby aptasia popping up everywhere. Idk what to do at this point. I dont think F Aptasia will be able to help. I tried a File fish and it only wanted mysis and a poly of my Goni. My tank is to small for a Copperband. Any ideas?

Bergia nudibranchs. Get like 3-5 or more and give it a few weeks or month and they should take care of it. As long as there’s no predators to them.

Any idea where to get them?

Any idea where to get them?

Picked up mine from salty underground. They were the best price I could find, the smaller ones have been on sale.

Although it’s only been maybe a week, I haven’t seen the 25 berghias I bought for my 100g I did remove my wrasse so hopefully my tangs, anthias, chromis, or starry blend didn’t eat them.

I have a leopard Wrasse and some of the aptasia I believe might be to big. I would like to catch my wrasse and give him to my local fish store but idk how I'd catch him.

They’re nocturnal so you won’t see them during the day. Tangs aren’t carnivores and even anthias should touch them. It will take some time for them to get to aptasia but once they get started the aptasia disappear pretty fast

They’ll eat any size. They start from base up. I would remove the wrasse though. Remove some rocks and drain some water. He’ll likely bury so watch him and try to scoop him out
