Aiptasia....do I mess with 1 or 2?

I just brought home my new resident Peppermint Shrimp. He has been given specific instructions..... We'll see. Thanks everone, and I will update if I have any luck or if I have to try somethingn else.

 

I just nuked 6 of them that came in on some live rock with boiling water and a hypodermic needle...Dont expect them to be back, especially considering the water was still boiling in the pot when I pulled it into the syringe

 

OK, update! It has only beena couple of days and my new shrimp buddy is my new hero. I didn't have to even give him a map or post directional signs or anything! I have one small patch of Aptasia left..... Let's see, stay tuned.

 

I just found 4 in my newly resetup RSM last night that came in on some old rock that I transfered over from an established 65 gallon reef I had, I just took a hypodermic needle and injected them with boiling water and it nuked them, I cant find anymore so I am pretty sure I am aptasia free

 

UPDATE#2! In just one additional day(night), "Bob" has wiped out all eveidence of any Aptasia in my tank. Now if I could only intice him to develop a hunger for my Cyano outbreak! ;D

 

Damn I guess I missed 3-4 of those little buggers and I looked yesterday and I have about 15 of them now, Luckily I only have 6-7 coral frags and no fish in the tank so this weekend or next I am gonna go pick up 5-6 peppermint shrimp so they can munch down, OR I may purchase 2-3 berghia slugs to eat them and then when they clear off the rocks I will either sell them or keep a small container in the back behind the liverock, out a lid on it so the aiptasia dont spread around the tank again but the berghia's can get in and have lunch/dinner when they are hungry

Its ashame that the rest of the sea slugs arent as easy to keep as the berghias because they REALLY are BEAUTIFUL creatures but there mostly specialized diets makes them impossible and cruel to keep since they just starve to death and wither away
