    Aptasia or ..??..

    I had to laugh, your comment to "torch them" ... This is the second "torch them" comment I have heard today. I stopped by my LFS today and was told that I could just take a torch to them and burn them off. I thought he was joking ... wasn't he ..??.. :-)

    Aptasia or ..??..

    That is good to know, I would expect the whole cycle to take some time assuming that it does work. Thank you for the offer to purchase some from you. I actually spoke to a fellow hobbyist and was offered what I needed at no charge (it is really cool getting to know some of these guys in the...

    Aptasia or ..??..

    You do have a good point on what happens when the Nudibranch runs out of food, however I would not go so far as to say that this is sad. If we are concerned for all living things then perhaps we should let the Aptasia thrive. Die-off is a common ecological event in general and when introduced...

    Aptasia or ..??..

    Thanks for the reply, if all else fails I will bake the entire thing. I also agree with your comment ... I am sure that the main tank has Aptasia, although I have not seen any yet, I will keep an eye out.

    Aptasia or ..??..

    Ok, after some additional research on the Berghia Nudibranches, I am intrigued and am willing to try these first. Tomorrow AM I will check with the LFS and see if he has any. If not, I will check into online resources. This looks like the easiest way to Aptasia control. I will try to...

    Aptasia or ..??..

    Very cool, thanks for the step by step, this is good stuff. I would like to try as many methods as possible until I get it under control (hopefully in as few attempts as possible). I consider it a test before the final exam ... given that this is already in quarantine and I could have more in...

    Aptasia or ..??..

    Thanks for the suggestions and ID verification! Now I am very happy that I pulled the rock from my main tank. I only hope that there are not too many that made it off of "the rock". I will consider it a quarantine tank rock for now and see what I can come up at the LFS. Thanks again.

    Aptasia or ..??..

    Thank you in advance for any advice on the following … - I purchased 200# of live rock for my newly set up 150Gal aquarium. My long term goal is primarily SPS. After one week I started seeing Anemones, only a couple isolated to a single rock which I thought was very cool. A couple weeks...

    ID Please

    Thanks for the comments on the clowns ... isn't it funny how a "bad" day at work can motivate other activities. I had one of those days at work and ended up buying a bonded pair of tank raised clown fish, a scooter blenny and a rose bubble tip anemone. I sure hope things turn out given this...

    ID Please

    Great ID references!!!! Those references are how I found reef frontiers and the reason that I joined! Thanks for spending the time to put this all together, as a noob I found it very very helpful. While searching around my tank to get a better picture of the larvae, I have not seen them...

    ID Please

    I will be going out this weekend to pick out a couple fish, thanks for the suggestion. I would prefer to just do SPS corals, however I have been getting pressure from my wife to get something that swims (and the pods are not doing it for her :-) she thinks a nemo is in order but I have broken...

    ID Please

    I did go through the Hitchhiker ID site references ... and could only come up with a maybe to the "Thalassinidean Shrimp", however they look a bit different. Oh and going through the various hitchhiker references, I did find that the cool anemone that I have are Aiptasia ... bummer ... now on...

    Thanks for the comments, I will see what I can come up with for better pictures tonight. If I can get anything good, I will post them, else I will chalk it up to just a part of the process ...
