Sure - a show tank of the worlds various aiptasia species! !

 

Also a good poster for "Don't let this happen to your tank - Qtine all new arrivals or else!"

 That is an awesome idea.

Just what I was thinking^^^^^^^^^.  Sorry but good advise

Throw some berghia nudis in there.  It will take several but it would be very interesting to see how much and fast they eat and see how big they could possibly get.

unless you would be planning on breeding, then selling, the bergia's i would just break it down and boil it as others have said.  why waste the money on something that will just die off once all the aiptasia is gone when you could just boil it off and start a new cycle later today?  that would give you some time to research the basics like the nitrogen cycle

If you do not want to start anew, you could always invest in a aiptasia-eating filefish (Acreichthys tomentosus)...just make sure it's one that WILL eat the glass anemone. As far as your bubble algae, serious obstacle as well. Emerald cabs generally do well at resolving that. Good luck and keep us posted on your decision(s).
