Was just killing some Aip when I noticed this thing on the backside what's left of my Idaho Grape Monti. Any Idea's on what it is. I can't really get much better of a pic because of where it is. Ignore the Aip, I can't get that one yet. I do see some vertemid looking web near it but is that what it is? @Crabs Mcjones @KJ

Hard to tell from the picture. You might be right about Vermetid snail?

@Fudsey , I love your new avatar. On my iPhone, whenever you are online, the green online indicator makes it look like your Trachy is coming out of the avatar box. Maybe it really is moving.

Stay patient. You have done a lot in a short time and it is working.

So, I couldn't stand it any longer. I found some peppermints at petco and I bought 4, all they had. I know it does seem like it may turn out to be a mistake but the aiptasia is driving me crazy. I have had good and bad luck in the past with them. We'll see if they can take care of them. Fortunately I have had good luck with this particular petco in the past. It is where I got my last 5 PJ Cardinals almost 6 years ago. And their tanks looked really great. I posted a pic in the "Good Morning" thread of their setup.

Hand feeding the clowns is hit or miss. Took a good bite from the male while I was feeding them tonight. She was fine but he actually jumped and bite the side of my thumb. No damage but the little evil bugger got me. I will continue to hand feed them and hopefully they will stop. Mean little effers....

I thought about it but the minuet I say Kalk in top off its game over. Now one of the pumps was brand new and only lasted a week so I am thinking of filing one for that one

ReefSpy on You Tube has had a bunch of issues with Neptune pumps. PMUPS mostly and I dont rememebr if Kalk was involved but he went through like 3 or 4.

Is it me or does it seem like Petco’s TRYING? Ive got 2 now down by me that I’d say are on par or better than the LFS’s nearbye.

I think ever since they acquired F&S they really have been trying more. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not, just seems it.

Well I purchased 1 of the CoralBox QP-9+ pumps and it should be here Monday. I hope it's as nice as it looks online. Also all 4 Peppermints are still with us. They found a good place to hide out and made it through the night. Hopefully they will team up and kill these #$*&%!? aiptaisia.

I'm calling them my Candy Crew

Don't give up on them too soon. If they are the real peppermint shrimp deal, they will get the aiptasia sooner or later.

My Peppermint consider the aiptasia their friends. Very frustrating. I also found out that the way I tried using Kalk on mine made them much worse. Sure, it killed the big ones, but it cause a bloom of small ones around it. I find that Aiptasia X is much better at controlling their population. Not perfect, but much better. It is definitely possible I didn't mix up the kalk correctly to make it work, so take that as you will.

Copperband ! If you can get one that eats

My peppermints dont touch the aptasia either and i did get the right species. Im admittedly a heavy feeder so im quite sure theyre just not hungry enough to bother.

Bergia’s worked best. Pricey but after trying aptasiaX and 10 peppermints had I gone right to bergia it would have cost me about the same. And my wrasses never touched them.
