Tons of feather duster worms but no aiptasia in that pic...The aiptasia may be more of a hassle than some sea lettuce in the end, though.
Thanks. I’m using rodi water. It is in a room that gets natural light. No direct light though. I’m starting to research how to get rid of it now. I don’t think I want to dose vibrant. I have pods and chaeto in my sumpUlva - Tangs will eat like candy. The hair- Pull what you can by hand and reduce white light intensity and check for phos and nitrate for elevated levels. Adding ChemiPure elite will keep both of those levels in check.
Are you using RODI water or Tap water from the faucet?
Is your tank at or near a window?
I do have just a few aiptasia in my tank but just got a peppermint shrimp and it seems to be knocking them back. I had some a while back and got 3 berghia and they knocked them out. I guess there wasn’t any more they could eat and they apparently died. I think what you see in the picture are little feather dustersThe aiptasia may be more of a hassle than some sea lettuce in the end, though.
Yeah I have a bunch of thoseTons of feather duster worms but no aiptasia in that pic...
Light reduction does help. That indirect light is likely a main cause as UV rays are strong. Even with shades and blinds- sunlight UV can penetrate. Blocking out the side that faces the window with black construction paper does work.Thanks. I’m using rodi water. It is in a room that gets natural light. No direct light though.

Ok I will try it. Thank youLight reduction does help. That indirect light is likely a main cause as UV rays are strong. Even with shades and blinds- sunlight UV can penetrate. Blocking out the side that faces the window with black construction paper does work.
I don’t see any aptasia.The aiptasia may be more of a hassle than some sea lettuce in the end, though.
A juvenile would be happy in there for a few years. Mine is heading into almost 4 years now in an 80 gallon shallow frag. He is huge now -- about an inch thick. His next home is under construction. Also shallow, but 12 feet long. He deserves it. This (mine at least) is a 5-Star utility fish worth consideration. (Just don't forget the poisonous dorsal spines.)Thanks all. I was thinking it was sea lettuce. I don’t have room for a fox face. My tank is only a 75 gallon.
I didn't realize I could get one of those in my size tank. It looks like I can. I imagine I will upgrade sometime in the next couple years. Hopefully I can find a small one locally.
