The problem is trust. Algae Barn's chaeto was considered safe then apparently they've had some cross contamination now. This isn't the first time something has come in on their "clean" chaeto. Do I trust that Battlecorals can avoid contamination from other systems? NTY, I'd rather get some for free from a local reefer and quarantine it like anything else.
You can dip chaeto in two water. I always do, if I get it from someone else.I will keep looking throughout the day though. However I don't feel good about it and don't know whether I should pull the Chaeto from the DT refugium..
yeah the first picture is totally different than the aiptasia.
Did you find the "creature" on the first pic?
See my prior post - I will keep on the lookout but haven't found anything unknown or surprising other than the aiptasia. If the Chaeto would not have come with a hitchhiker I would not have posted this thread at all. The take-away should be "something annoying came with it" rather than "aiptasia came with it".
To me, it's not really relevant. It come with some type of anemone in it. That's for sure. And this isn't the first thread I've seen of "clean" chaeto coming in with something. That said, AlgaeBarn has excellent customer service and I'm sure will take care of you.
Will algae barn repay him if aptasia takes over his tank because of it though?
Which is a problem, (if its true). Its different if they didn't state it was clean and pest free. There shouldn't be an assumed risk here.Doubt that! lol
