Bedside Biocube tank log

[BelieveInBlue]

Found a small aiptasia on one of the frag plugs earlier. It was removed and scrubbed off via toothbrush with extreme prejudice. No idea how it got there, but I'll be keeping a closer eye on the tank for a while. Fortunately, since there are no wrasses in the tank, berghia nudibranchs are a potential option if the infestation gets too large, but hopefully that little one is a one off, and no more of them pop up...

I didn’t know wrasses ate it. I always had luck with peppermint shrimp.

I don't trust anyone, myself included, to properly ID the right peppermint shrimp. And the only wrasses that'll do well in a 32gallon are afaik all nudibranch eaters (pink streak, sixline, possum).
