The day we put our lr in our tank we have noticed those nice little anemones. After about 2 weeks they were spreading about doubling every week. We discovered that these were aptasia and can eat smaller creatures in the tank. Mission 1 kill all aptasia our first battle we sent a copper banded butterfly to the front lines. It appeared that he ate all the aptasia in about 2 weeks then would not eat so he was returned to the lfs. Just a few days later noticed small aptasia again back to war we go. Our next offensive included a huge syringe for horses injecting calcium, lemon juice finally we discovered boiling water killed them better then anything. This however is a very exausting experience that continues to this day. Our newest covert mission to send in the peppermint shrimp, placed 3 in the tank to discover they just want to play poker together upside down under the same rock occupied by my huge condy and my cleaner shrimp. In the last few days the peppermints numbers are down to one. So our question is what is the best way to iradicate aptasia.
