this is aiptasia right??

your right they wont always eat the larger ones, but they will eat the smaller ones and they will help keep it from spreading..plus its good to have them in the CUC...

 

sorry for the newb ? but y are they a bad thing? they look kinda cool

 

they grow like weeds and will sting your corals...

 

ok great reason

 

ive seen a few people keep just them in a tank which is ok if you dont have any corals or anything...but to each his own i guess...good luck

 

If they are isolated to that one rock I would just remove the rock, fresh water soak for a couple of day or even dry it.

Peppermint shrimp are EVIL, I tell you. Go with the kalk paste if they are not isolated to one rock.

 

I wish they were just isolated to that 1 rock but there are not :-/ that's just s pic of the biggest ones, 1 is a little bigger than a nickel others bout dime size so yeah ima get. 2 pep shrimp and Kali paste the biggest ones first I'll prolly kill a few a day for a week and let the shrimp get anything I miss

 

On the bright side my tank is stuk as fowl until I get a little more cash flow so in the mean time free anemone's ;D

the problem you may have if you dont deal with it now whilst the tank is FOWLR
is that when you do decide you want to add corals, the Aiptasia may have propogated to the point that your only option is to nuke all your rocks and start again

these things can be dormant for ages, you have half a dozen and they stay at half a dozen and then one day - 47 of the things seem to have taken over your rock work

Yeah I'm getting the kalk tomorrow and sum pep shrimps asap I want em off my rocks but for the rest o the night there free anemone's lol I def plan on taken care of them sukers
