    Walked in the house last night and found this little pita....mixed up some kalk real quick and shot it! It grabbed a bunch of the kalk and then retracted under a rock. I'm pretty sure he's a gonner!;D

    I had one show up in my QT tank and I've never had them. Still trying to figure that one out.

    isn't that weird. I haven't bought rock from a store in way over a year and recently bought the torch coral and the hairy mushrooms. Wonder if it was on the shrooms, hidden under them? funny how things sometimes just show up in your tank!

    Thats the way he got in your tank, the two new corals that you bought. I hope you killed it the right way b/c if you didnt, You wont see him/her anymore, but you will see his/her's offsprings. Yes, the S stands for plural, more than one. Luna

    I wish the solution was always so easy i seem to have them popping up every so often even in my sandbed very time consuming trying to eradicate them . I've tried hot water injection, lemon juice both to no avail any suggestions?
