What is this?

that was my point in filter or fuge or not still don't want them reproducing in my tank. Do you ever have a problem with them getting in DT

 

I never had a problem with them getting into the display tank but I kept alot of peppermint shrimp in the tank in case "one got away"

 

if you can get the whole rock out of there and nuke the rock

 

If you want to kill the thing yank the rock out remembering wher it is on rock.It will retract. Tack a big screw driver and gouge out a good area out where it is.then rinse off rock in a bucket of tank water during water change. Pretty easy if rock is removable. Otherwise It is harder to get rid of.

 

I agree with getinpora. Nuke the rock.

 

I didn't think aiptasia looked bad either. I was excited to find it in my tank. The problem with it is that it has poisons stingers and will sting your other inhabitants that probably look better.

I had success with my two peppermint shrimp, but my aiptasias were a lot smaller.

 

Just an update on an old thread. The aiptasia is gone! Peppermint shrimp really do love it apparently. I bought one and a few days later the tank was Aptaisia free!

Thanks for the advice guys!

 

I had 3 aiptasia in my tank and I also had 4 blue legged hermit crabs...1 hitchiker porcelian crab...and 1 pom pom crab....somehow all of the aiptasia are now gone.....
The only other inhabitants are clown fish...not sure what happened or who ...but they are gone...
Don't cha love it...
