BustytheSnowMaam Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Just FYI- About 3 weeks ago I got satisfaction out of blasting my single aiptasia with a syringe of boiling water. Now, I have DOZENS of the darn things everywhere. I don't know if they would be there had I not nuked the original or not, but I'm thinking what I did was not the smartest thing.

Chromis Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Time for a peppermint shrimp... Link to comment
Guest AbSoluTc Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Pepermint shrimp, will not always eat aptasia. I have been through 4 of them. Never even looked at the darn things. Best thing is to razor blade them off the rocks. Don't ask me how, just do it It removes them tottaly and never a problem. Link to comment
BustytheSnowMaam Posted June 26, 2002 Author Share Posted June 26, 2002 Don't they return if any part of them remains after you try to remove them? and Absolutc, your avatar is SO distracting!!! I mean that as in a kidding way, not that I am offended! I'm trying to read your posts, and all I see is THAT. Tasha Link to comment

crollison Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I've heard that the peppermint shrimp with a rectangle pattern on their back/midsection are the ones that truly eat aptasia. I've seen these ones in tank with all the others, so look hard. Well its just what I heard. Might as well try sence you're probaby going to get the shrimp anyway. Link to comment
Toyfreek Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I Use Boiling Vinagar and they don't seem to come back, funny about the razorblading them off thing everytime I get an Aptaisia they are nestled nicely into a hole as soon as I get near they zip inside. I use a syringe and squirt the stuff into the "mouth" and around the base then I suck the shreads back out with the syringe. I only do that for the big ones as my peppermint eats the little ones when they sprout up. HTH, Toy Link to comment
