Is there anything else on the rock that is worth saving?

there's a guy in Edmonton selling bergulia nudibranches. i just go to town with lemon juice myself. if your tank is big enough a copperband butterfly or matted file fish may do the job.

You know what always seems to work for me, peppermint shrimp. I get them from Kevin at Red Coral and they always do the job. The only problem is they usually end up being the main course for my six-line wrasse.

2xdevils hands,zoas,feather dusters and my 3" white mantis shrimp and his 4-1/2"girl friend live inside the rock as they have hollowed it out for a den, and I don't really wana take them from there hole. I no for a fact these guy do not touch fish big or small but will eat any shrimp,snail,urchins,crabs ex... Or I would get peppermint shrimps.

matted filefish will clear you out of aiptasia in no time, and they wiont get as big as butterflies. they are like angels so they are 50/50 whether they nip or not. they eat polyps and anemones. i added you to a 33g zoa tank with 80+ kinds of zoas and palys and he never harmed anything......but they def can so best to get one off someone who has one eating only aiptasia and prepared foods

My pair of mantis shrimp kill them super quick I tried to buy 10 of them plus a few crab to distract the mantises and the still only last three days not even a nuff time to start on the problem

for lemon juice just pick up a bottle of lemon juice and a large bore syringe and your set. just draw up a shot of juice and stick the needle into their mouth and feed them some they will retract fast typically and may "implode" if they do just about sure fire you got them. iv done this in the middle of zoa colonies before ( watch your aim)
