What should I do with them?

[denman]

My live rock has a bunch of glass anemones and i wonder if I should leave them, pluck them out, or get something else to eat it. Any suggestions?

Peppermint shrimp have been known to work.
Kalkwasser injections or a product known as Joe's Juice will also kill them.
I have in my time tried plucking them out, burning them, stabbing them, boiling them..etc..
The only thing that did it was the peppermint shrimp for me. I didn't use chemicals.

Same here. I tried scrubbing them off my live rock and nothing worked, so purchased 6 peppermint shrimp of varying sizes. They got rid of every single little pesky anemone in the tank in about 3 weeks. Just make sure you get the peppermint shrimp, not fire shrimp if you purchase some and nothing in your tank that will eat them.

You don't want the camel shrimp, they tend to eat corals.

I bought 3 peppermint shrimp to get rid of them and my longnose hawk fish ate all 3 of them in one nite. So be carefully if you have a hawk fish.

Thats just one of my $20.00 mistakes. But the Joes juices worked good for me.

A peppermint wouldn't eat a LTA or a BTA would it?

I usedKalkwasser injections and I got PMS. I too have a RBTA and the shrimp does not touch it. It maybe because the clown keeps it away from it.
