Zontar Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Hi, recently I read an article that claimed that Dardanus megistos (aka spotted hermit, red legged hermit, etc, etc) was a superior biological control for aiptasia. A few days after I happed to see one in my routine wandering through the various LFSes in my area (there are several really sweet ones just down the street) so I thought to myself, not only is this a really cool looking hermit but it could potentially eat the aiptasia that has taken over one of my tanks. So I bought the little guy and chucked him into my tank. Well it's been about 3 days now and he's decimated the aiptasia, keep in mind there are still 5 left, but 4 days ago the aiptasia population was so high it was practically uncountable (that and given my general weakness with anything involving anything with numerals). Has anyone had similar observations? P.S. He has also done no harm to anything else in the tank besides occassionally knocking over one of his smaller fellows. Link to comment
