Hosting Aiptasia???

[jacklax]

Get a load of this...one of my GSMs is constantly fanning a small aiptsia and bringing it food. Anyone else ever have this happen? I'm unable to reach the aiptasia at this time, but once it grows I'll introduce it to my friend Joe and his special juice...

Thanks...I've dealt with them before. This is on a piece of new live rock. Have you ever had a clown doing this before...or do I have a retard/pacifist on my hands?

If it is compatible with your tank, just get a peppermint shrimp...I saw an out break of it on my live rock (7-8 organisms) and bought a peppermint shrimp, and it was all gone within 2 days...

Thomas - Let me see what I can do for a picture...it's tucked behind some rocks, so I'll need to move things around a bit. My female GSM gets soooooo mad when things get moved!
nrage - Thanks. I've actually tried using peppermint shrimp in the past, but they weren't interested. I'm going to stick with Joe's juice...works like a charm.

Hey I tried to get rid of those things on my new piece of LR w/ boiling water but those persistant suckers came back, going to try a peppermint shrimp soon.. If not my freind Joe will soon meet them!!!

Joe makes a very potent cocktail...it works.
