I need a way to eradicate Aptashia without hurting my fish.

You can use kalkwasser, Ca(OH)2. Or you can get joes juice, or aiptasia stop. They all work pretty well, just be sure and use a syringe to dose them.

The kalk works well but you have to inject it into the little bugger. I have had great sucess with the moji ( how the heck do you spell that one? ) because they hold still like good little victims. The brown buggers like to run and hide so it's harder to stick them properly. I just picked up some Joe's juice, I'll let you know how it works out.

All those products mentioend above, or biologically through a peppermint shrimp, nudibranch, or a butterfly fish. Do some searches and you will see the various pros and cons with each method...

I've always used Joe's Juice with good success. My butterfly has also done a nice job.

killing Aptashia

thanks for the suggestions, those things are driving me crazy. An employee at one of the fish stores I frequent referred to them as the dandelion of saltwater, at the time I didn't think much about it, but now I can see what she was talking about. I'll look into each suggestion and let you know what worked the best. "Catch" ya later.
