Oh well, sh1t happens, right?

Plan A. Do nothing. See what happens.
Plan B. Natural control, add a wrasse or 4 and some peppermint shrimp.
Plan C. Create a full SPS system with no acropora. This has potential, and I've never seen it before. Could be cool.

Man that sucks. All that work.
I vote for plan B and C

I'm voting A But I'll add a wrasse for now, and watch. No other pieces look affected, but who knows. These things don't show until it's bad.

Oh that sucks. I'd Def go with wrasse and shrimp first. Was it just one frag or multiple

Just one for now, but I'm sure they're elsewhere too. I baste everything often, so I'm sure I've blown some into the water column.

Don't dragon pipefish eat AEFWs? Pretty cool addition regardless and I'd think they'd be pretty effective at getting in the tight spots.

I think flow might be an issue, they seem to like lagoon style environments. I think.

It's red bugs they eat I've never heard of them eating aefw but who knows

[reefwars]
