Depends what u want but most people don't want them as they sting corals

I will get rid of them. Saw a method on U-tube I like. Squirt it with boiling water in a syringe and then sucking off. I like that ot doesn't use chemicals.

Aptasia. Get aptasia x or inject it with boiling hot RO and suck out the remains with a big syringe. Best of done outside the tank in a seperate bucket.

Several months now and everything's great! I thought my peppermint shrimp didn't last, but after 3 weeks, I spotted him. He is a good hidder and just comes out at night.
Also added a new hard coral, which is doing well. Photos are early morning. Everything just waking up.

Another update. Things are still going great! Added more corals a d a rarer annonomie. No problems at all.

NICE!!!

New update. It's been about 7 months since my rebuild and I have only had one hard coral not last. Everything else is doing really good and growing a lot. Do you think I'm all set if I just continue on with my routine. I'm feeling good about everything.

If it looks good it probably is good.

I'm basically just doing weekly water changes (Just 5 gal at a time) and monthly filter cleaning. I was adding nutrients but kind of stopped. I think most of what is needed is in the salt from the water changes

If it's stable too and not high in nutints play with the schedule and you could start skipping to an every other week wc.

Added another coral. When I saw it, I had to have it.
