As others have mentioned, your Aiptasia problem will soon be a thing of the past. :) I had a really bad outbreak in my DT, and added only 10 nudibranchs to take care of it. It look about 5 months for them to wipe them out. It was slow going for the first couple of months, but they made noticeable progress on a daily basis after that. I'm now Aiptasia free. :)

Did a quick look about after lights out and didn't see any of the nudis I put in.

Here's a daylight shot of the progression :) I better pull some out quick if I want to propagate them for food and breed the nudis.

There must've been some baby aiptasia on the bottom of my trachy. They are having a gathering there tonight ;Happy

I have a CBB and unless the Aptasia is out in the open he won't touch them. I see plenty of them in between the rocks and in the crevices. I hit them with Aptasia-X this past weekend but I know they will be back. I'm really considering getting some Nudis for next time. What stopped me in the past was they are expensive and feared that they would be a snack for my Melenaurus. Anybody use them with a Melanurus in the tank, how did it work out?

I noticed they hadn't really moved much in the last 24hrs. Flashlight searching tonight, I discovered multiple egg clusters! I'm not sure if any will survive though, as earlier it was posted that pods will eat the eggs.
Your updates make my heart happy. There IS hope. I don’t (knock on live rock) have Aptasia but it’s comforting to know there is a natural and efficient way to annihilate them. Ding Dong the Aptasia are dead. [emoji444]

Keep an eye on that egg cluster on the trachyphillia. They couldn't be in a better spot for successful hatching if that's going to happen. I'm very interested in some verification that amphipods will eat the eggs, since I have not ever experienced this.

They're so cute. It's really too bad that Aiptasia is all they will eat [from the standpoint that it would be nice if there was an alternate source of food you could give them in the absence of aiptasia].
I wonder how these things survive in the wild - is there really that much aiptasia in the reefs?

Eggs made it through night one. I also noticed at least 6 more clusters in the rock work. I'm going to beg some locals for aiptasia rocks to start a tank to feed them. I fear my display is almost clean of the big ones!

I have rock for you pretty infested. I'd be willing to send one rock I'd say 10 to 20 lb.... if I can get some berghia....I need them

That's why I refused to even try peppermints. Too risky for my little 20g. I hope you didn't lose too many Acans.
I will take you up on that! I will have the aiptasia tank setup next week. Too busy trying to get new display moved to my house to do it now.
