hllywd Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I've been having some problems with my 200. Not the least of which was an aiptasia infestation that was getting out of hand. I'll bet I had a forest of 25 or 30 growing on the side if my clam and quite a few more around the tank. I tossed 6 of these guys in, maybe a couple months ago. I didn't see any of them till a week ago. I did however think some aiptasia were missing. Tonight feeding the fish, I saw two peps out looking for some morsels. Even better, the clam is completely clean! Yay!!! Flounder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonvice Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I am glad they worked for you. I have tried them before and they never seem to touch my aptasia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I have had good luck with them in some displays and not in others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hllywd Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 I think you have to be patient with them for sure. A few years ago I had a 120 that has hundreds of aiptasia. I spent quite a bit on a few berghia nudibranchs. Never saw them again in six months or so. I eventually bought a few peppermints and didn't see them for quite a while, like this time. Then, I noticed the tank was a little better, then one day I couldn't find any aiptasia. In my two experiences, this is a months long solution.

NoWaiAma Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Mine have kept the aptasia at Bay (haven’t seen any new ones). But I thought then dead. Until I had to remove all of my rock. Very much alive. Maybe nocturnal? Very cool hllywd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
