    Since you and LG are so close,i'd be willing to bet he'd let you borrow it to at least get them under control.As a matter of fact,i recall him having so much fun with it,he may just come and do it for ya.Might cost you a burger and a beer.

    File fish could work but they are hit and miss. Could also gain a taste for some corals. When they work, they do the best job ever. The one I have is in a 40B that was covered by those things, and the file fish took them out in a matter of days, and is now moving to another tank to do the same thing.

    Haven't heard the file fish. The peppermint shrimp have never worked for me though. :-/

    I did the Berghia nudibranchs on my 90 that was heavly infested and bought 9 of them and it took about 2 months and they were all gone; then they die off.

    There so small that once they are in the rocks you cant find them.

    Have you tried a group?Being hit or miss,you have better odds at one or two eating them in a group,however saying that,i've had one for 6 months and wouldn't touch it,then finally went balistic on it and I can say i've been aip free for a good while now.
