    Thanx, I was hoping it was something I could utilize.
    I am glad to hear that they 'eat' the joes juice, and wont sit there screaming at me "IT BURNS< IT BURNS". That doesn't sound too bad

    Hmm, I haven't heard that one before. Maybe because Joe's Juice is a less messy, effective alternative?

    Have you done the hot silicone treatment? If so, how do you heat the silicone and administer it?

    well, I did it. My first aptasia murder. It was at the point where I really had no choice
    My fears were realized, I think they went down screaming! I did just two and sucked their little mushy bodies out with a med dropper

    lol never seen someone so concerned by what's percieved as a pest in the hobby

    "what am i suppost to use man, harsh language" sorry, aliens2 clip!


    Rape & pillage i say, JJ is pretty effective & bang, quick fix off the shelf for us lazy folk.

    Keep up with it, what starts with one, ends up becoming hundreds if left unchecked & they can hide like crazy out of site - cause its only then do you realise when the baby medusa have grown up & had kids of there own that your in the dark without a flashlight ! lol

    Aiptasia Eater

    My LFS guy swears a copper banded butterfly will totally remove ALL aiptasia from my tank in a couple weeks---and then eat my feather dusters!!! But because I have about 50 of the little buggers growing everywhere in my 125 I think I better do something, ( still think they are kinda pretty-waving in the current and absorbing my coral). I'm picking up my wild caught copper banded butterfly TODAY. I know, I know - stay away from them, bad fish and all that, but ya gotta take a chance sometimes. All you can do is hope you get a good fish and hope he'll eat the stuff. I'll let ya know what happens.

    You know how sneaky those aiptasia are, they hide and then pop up out of no where!

    It is kinda kool to go back and see your earlier experiences, isn't it? I saw a fellow member of ORCA post a WTS for a Harlequin shrimp, I think it's a male... is that something that would interest you, or is it still too soon? I understand how difficult it is to deal with losing a loved one...
