    Congrats on the grow, lloking great except for the aiptasia on the upper right. You will want to get rid of it before it takes over your tank.

    Was reading online and saw that Peppermint Shrimp (Lysmata wurdenmanni ) will eat aiptasia.

    Sometimes. Get some Aiptasia-X or Joes Juice.

    Nice Zoanthid colony btcole

    Aiptasia X does work IME
    but you do need to follow the instructions properly and let the aiptasia envelop the needle before coating it

    I have got it right a few times in my 5ft
    but got it badly wrong in my nano and triggered an explosion of mini aiptsasia due to not ensuring tentacles had enveloped the needle before squeezing syringe to cover them
