aiptasia ... get 'em now.

I know I posted this in the reef forum, but in a fowlr tank they won't hurt anything right? And will my Dogface and lunar wrasse eat them.

its still a good idea to kill them because they spread like weeds and can sting and kill other fish.

most Puffers love to eat anemones, so chances are pretty good he'll eat them, I dont know whether your lunar will or not, but I would put money on the puffer chowing them.

hello all i have the same thing in my tank how do you kill them off? my lfs said to put a salt paste on them and it would take care of it but made it worse! please let me know! i have 2 blue damsels,3 dominos a blue/green chromis and a bunch of hermits,and a blood shrimp oh yea and asaddle back clown with his annomme (srry bad spelling its late). and a purple tube annome also. could i put a puffer in there and what kind if so? :notsure:

I would Nuke 'em with Joe's Juice. A bottle is like $7 at the LFS. Instant gratification. Seriously, all you do is hold the bottle in front of it and squirt a little into it and it immediately shrivels and dies.

I'll probably do that, I think it would be fun watching my puffer eat thant but it may be more trouble than it is worth.

 

[rookiefish]

would it be safe to git a puffer though or no? i dont think my lfs has that joes juice ive been through that whole place and never seen it?

Pepermint shrimp have also been known to eat them. I also use Kalkwasser
1 teaspoon Kalkwasser to 2 tablespoons of water. You can use a syringe or drizzle it over them and they will melt away.

i have one in my take that is fairly good size now... it has been there a month and its still the only one... i put the rock it is on to the other side of the tank away from everything because i like the looks of it... are they safe to keep??? i would like to keep it if possible...

Is this "joes juice" stuff safe for reef aquariums? I have a ton of these in my tank as well. I have not been able to find Joes Juice in an LFS. Is there somewhere on line you can purchase this?

Yes. I use it in my reef. I'm sure if you do a search you'll find an abundance of it!!

yeah these things suck. i had a one and then it started to spread. i think thats why one of my corals died. well what i did was put lemon juice of the ones that were on the corals. and boiling water on the ones that were on the rocks. that got rid of them. one thing though. dont try to pull them out becuase then they will spread very quickly
