    That sucks, but take some boiling RO/DI water in a syringe and give them hit. (boil it first, then suck it up :cheesy:) Should take care of the little suckers.

    lots of LFS have those especially in my area the big als is really bad. They have some very healthy aiptasia, some about 2-3 inches across.. and they dont seem to ever get rid of them. lucky I just buy cheap dry goods from them

    Ordering fish online in the winter seems crazy to me but I guess if theyll do it it must be fine! Besides live aquaria is about the same price as the lfs!

    they usually ship in coolers, and they have a type of temporary heater in the cooler, like almost what you would put in your boots in winter.
