Have you tried scooping them up with a net ?

I'm trying just about everything on that tank including a dedicated uv sterilizer on it as well as a TWIN 80 WATT UV sterilizer after the sump.

If you want to remove them, mechanically is probably the best way. They can't really control the direction that they swim in so they will most likely end up going through your skimmer or sump pumps, which they won't survive.
A net is probably the simplest route. A filter sock on your sump inflow will get them too.

Where did you get the live rock they came in on?

The live rock was shipped to me directly from Bali. Not sure if I saved any money though the rock was free but shipping works out to be $14.00/kg.

Free live rock straight from Bali................:surprise:

You are very fortunate.....keep an eye out for lots more interesting critters!:smile:

My question is where is Water Valley, AB? I'm currently living in Sparwood B.C.

We're about 45 minutes north of Cochrane, in the foothills.

Well as far as interesting creatures goes I've had a couple of soft corals, some cool looking purple crabs and a 4" long Zebra mantis shrimp with hundreds of little babies, a few scalops and clams and also what looks like a cluster of flame scalops but only blue in colour.

Cool I don't get past Calgary very often. I always seem to migrate south towards leathbridge. So do you do your shopping at Big Als or Golds or other?

MitchM 07-29-2010 11:36 PM

Red Coral, Wais and Big Als for fresh.
