				All about Aiptasia by Bob Fenner
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		OK everyone, I'm too chicken to add any "chemicals" or biocides/solutions to my Nanos because it's soh easy to wipe out whole, tiny bio systems.... 
 
I've had 100% aipatasia kills with the use of the right kind of Peppermint shrimp (Lysmata wurdemanni).  Peppermint shrimp of this type can be found at Big Al's (hint: I ask Ryan to test them before purchase) and they slaughter these anemones like maniacs....  However, once they get too large (aiptasia) it's a bit much for the shrimp.   
 
I'd like to share this link with all the new salters onboard because it's the best resource tool I've ever found with participants/writers/authors like Anthony Calfo and Bob Fenner! 
 
It's got everything you ever want to know of a saltwater nature!!!!  READ, and read some more....

I know this article will answer many, many questions about methods of destroying these little creeps. 
 
Best regards,                 Bunny
