Put a file fish in 40 gallon to help with Aptasia. Ate all my Xenia then ignored the Aptasia. Ended up getting enough nudibranchs to reproduce. That worked.
The yellow wrasse will eat the baby nudibranches and they won't be able to reach the numbers needed to rid the aiptasia. I am raising the nudibranches in a different tank and am planning on trapping the yellow wrasse and temporarily putting him in a fuge.
No personal experience since my CBB took care of the problem but I'm a member of a fairly good sized reef club and a bunch of members have tried them. Just my impression is that they are comparable with the CBB as far as reef safeness but as noted above hit or miss as to whether they eat aiptasia.
What is CBB? Still getting used to abbreviations. [emoji5]
Pretty sure my blue pigmy dwarf angel is taking care of my Aptasia.
He is the bully of the tank full of peaceful fish though.
Mine is a little Butthead too. Goes after my emerald crab to the point I never see him anymore.
hello everyone ended up getting a matted Aptasia eating file fish let’s see how this goes with my Softies and Zoas
does yours eat Aptasia
Interesting article and worth a read. Apparently the author purchased a freshwater scat, acclimated it via drip to saltwater, and then watched it eat all the Aiptasia but leave corrals alone. We just identified the very first, tiny glass anemone growing in our tank, so we're weighing our options: peppermint shrimp, nudibranch, or scat.Hi, I just came across this thread. Has anyone looked at Scat's for Aiptasia control? I've heard they are reef safe and do well with eating Aiptasia
Here is a current article in Reef Hobbyist magazine on it.
