    yeah ive been on a warpath with these things, 15 down so far, i feel like very time i look at the tank i see another big one and like 5 more small ones. Any ideas for non direct treatment? Aptiasia x works like a charm but there's no way I'm going to get all of them with all of the nooks and...

    I would add some peppermints, but i just set the tank up today. i want to Nuke these things while nothing else is in there and before they start to spread. once the tank is cycled the peppermint shrimp should take care of it. I just keep finding more of these things! I wish they weren't so...

    Noted on the anemone, I guess I can get a few soft corals once I get the tank going and settled down. As far as the mandarin goes, those are things I knew, which is what prevented me from getting one right off the bat. It certainly seems like I will need to be a bit more experienced before I...
