how to get rid of aptasia(?)

figdish · #1 10-14-2011, 12:36 AM

Hey all, I am looking to purchase Berghia Nudibranch if anyone can let me know where in Calgary sells. Found out could get rid of my Astapsia ( or however u spell it, let alone say it) with these neat little guys. Not only will they get rid of my pests, they look cool too.
BTW really liken this site all

cheers

none LFS in calgary that i kno of sells them. red coral carries them but NFS yet. how much aptasia do u have? what i do is I take the rock out and take a lighter and burn it. there are other means to solve this problem but i found best is just to burn them before they get any bigger.

wouldn't burning them kill everything else on rock?

Filefish do the job and will eat real food once it's done with the aptasia.

file fish will eat all your lps coral before they will even go near the aptasia the best bet is to talk to the guy at red coral he may take the rock and trade u

I have 4+ adults nearly 1" long in a tank with plenty of aptasia. I am hoping they start to breed as I can no longer afford to bring these guys in. I would though consider a prepaid group order for them. My # at the shop is 403 338-1880.

What type of file fish is the most effective in term of getting rid of the aptasia?
