Lets talk Valonia

It would seem that my valonia population is increasing in number. Has anyone had any success in beating them? Trimmed my cheato the other day and my fuge is just full of them. Several in the DT too that i keep getting rid of by siphoning them off but they just seem to keep coming back.

a few hungry emerald crabs should help you trim them down.

Emerald crab worked for me.

Emerald crab also worked for me, within a week it was gone.

Emerald, also Powder Brown Tang (Acanthurus japonicus) should eat it. These guys will only take care of the smaller ones, manually extract the larger ones.

Had an outbreak for bit and just kept on the manual removal (dislodge the bubbles, then net out). Still have some but need to look hard.

Had 2 emerald crabs, personally don't think they did much.
