Kalk sludge and a syringe works well (flow off). Careful the ph swing, don’t litter the battlefield with bodies too quickly. Done the boiling rodi water, another good solution. Your cocktail sounds … hardcore. These the mutant variety?

Filefish? Pipefish? Tilefish? Whatever is the fish that eats aiptasia.
I'm guessing my high nutrients tank is creating giant coral killing mutant aptasia.

Don’t get stung by it you’ll get aptasia powers, not as cool as spider powers!

I’ve posted this before - not mine, it’s a rather impressive Elegance coral (approx 16-18” across) at the Smithsonian National Zoo, with approximately infinity Aptasia on it.

Berghia have always been my friend. Good luck!
It's under control. 180g completely engulfed in Aiptasia, took 2 batches of 25 bergias,3 copperbands(was difficult adding one to my well established bipolar Desjardini) and about 3 years.. found the Pic, here it comes

I've watched a lot of crocodile hunter shows before the stingray zapped him. I'm a professional
God, my kids loved that show and I sat and watched it with them. If he would have died from a black mumba bight or a crocodile I would have thought well that sucks but a freaking stingray, really?

I did a tank restart last year due to aptasia. People thought I was crazy to do a restart until I posted pics. Wait for it….
