I used too. I bought them multiple times but now that my tank is stable and growing they are showing up on every rock, pipe and snail in the tank.

That's what mine have done. I guess I still don't consider that a bad thing. I still prefer the fields of purple/blue cloves over brown rock. I prefer them over coraline even. They but up against all sorts of corals from chalices, zoas to SPS and have never killed, stung or over taken any of my corals.

I tried the diy aiptaisa zapper and found it to just cause more. Maybe i did something wrong ( followed directions to a t though) as it just seemed to cause them to shrivel up and then come back with about 20 buddies. I have now invested in some berghia nudibranchs and they are slowly killing them off.

I no longer have a bare bottom tank, it's a blue clove bottom tank.

Away from home this week so I don't have any updated photos. This is an older pic. cyphestria also covers the bottom of my tanks. The cyphestria actually overtakes the cloves. Sideway pic, can't correct that

Astneria Starfish- I have those as well but they appear to be harmless, makes me think that maybe there are two similar species....
Vermatid Snail- destroyed it with pliers quick and easy, not really harmful, just an irritant Aptasia - had 3 of them on my corea clam --> just add peppermint shrimp all gone within 3 days Planaria Flatworms - had a few on my black suncoral (even after I coral Rx'ed it!) just recently added a Flatwormicide...Lost my stomatella snails in the process even after a 30% water change ony 30min after adding the stuff Zooanthid eating nudibranchs- I had many! it took me a while to figure out what they were but I set up a zoo hospital! basically did 5min freshwater dips in RO water and scrubbed with a toothbrush to remove eggs. Didn't lose a single polyp
