ok so i can try the filefish for the aptasia but still no suggestion for majanos?
|
I found Copperbands to be good at eating pest anemones. Once it wipes out your aiptasia & majanos, though, you'll have to convert it over to frozen mysis or something similar. You can also use fresh market clams for butterflyfish food.
|
For me I bought some syringes with needles from a pharmacy and inject the anemones with lemon juice and works 80% of the time
|
well that all depend on the value of your zoanthids. not a fish to have if you have 50$ per polyp purple hornet like I do and some other rare zoa. Plus they grow so slowly.

aptasia
try injecting the aptasia with lemon juice using a hypo from the drug store(only about 10 a day) for me i stick with the berghia-reef safe and they get into the cracks where other fish can't go

<3 my matted leatherjacket filefish...he's so cute and reminds me of a unicorn :) plus he devours pest anemones and loves brine and mysis
|
I agree totally about using a matted filefish,they will eat all your pests.I picked one up from mindy,she thought maybe he liked her zoas.I am sps dominate so no worrys,first fish i ever named :) he's so ugly he's cute,and doesn't bother anything else.Here's "frank" the filefish he even eats nori with the tangs ????

I'm tagging along as it seems that every time I go out and buy needles they result in one pest turning into 100's. I usually hit them with a Kalk paste and let them sit for 15 mins, they disappear for a day or two then come back full strength.
Should I be using burning hot Kalk? |

i had a minor problem of the two types, if u go down to ocean city they have the real type of peppermint shrimp, i bought 2 and they seem to have done the trick there are none left, as a back up there a product called "joe's juice" it is for the removal of atap and works great
hope this helped |
