My butterfly made short work of those little...... , big or small.
Get rid of them asap. I wish there was a way to keep only one or two of them. They're quite beautiful actually - and very effecient at catching anything within their grasp, no matter the size.

hehe, I have 5 of the regulat aptasia in the small tank and none in the large tank.. this is because of my 3 pepermint shrimp in the large tank. I did put a rock in the lage tank that had about 50 aptasia on it.. but the shrimp had it cleen in 3 days.

so I think I might just get a couple shrimp for the small tank to clean this up..

You might not believe this, but the manager of a LFS most of go to, told me that a few years ago he sold them for a few dollars each.

Heck, Vancouver Aquarium has one of the most impressive looking aiptasia display I've ever seen (in their carpet anemone habitat). Heck, there's even an ID picture up top along with the other species IDs!

To be honest ... one day I am tempted to try these in a sump or a raceway type 'fuge and use them as nutrient export.

BUT .... that day is a ways off ...
