At one time or another: Aiptasia, majanos, hydroids, evil crabs, flat worms, kenya trees and mushrooms. Oh, and a breeding Mama Fireclown that insists on taking a piece of me everytime I put my hand in the tank. Bitsh!

I've got some digitate hydroids and some rusty colored flatworms that need to die.

I see others have used wrasse to kill flatworms, what types? I was thinking of adding a wrasse (130 gal with only two clowns and corals and occupants.. lol)

I don't want to flatworm exit them because the tank is not easily accessible due to its height. It's one thing to vaccuum the sandbed, but trying to fish in around a bunch of rocks 6 feet in the air does not sound fun.

Default even more pest

Hi,

I would like to add green star polyps and a strange kind of aptaisia that has green centers and lives mostly in the sand. It should be easy to scoop them out but not so. They are lightening fast and if you don't succeed the first couple of times removing them, they move somewhere else.

I've had everyone's favorite nuisance coral aptasia but I now have two peppermint shrimp and all is gone or cowering in fear from the shrimp

Never had the displeasure yet of meeting the other critters listed yet but lots of algae issues
