Anyone know a way to keep pineapple sponges under control? Does anything eat them? Also how do u get rid of spiroid worms? What causes them?
Thnx
Thnx
Sponges are good harmless filter feeders, no need to control them, usually only frow in sumps and some darker areas
Agreed.
Why do you need to remove them? If you have too many of them then they have an abundant food supply which could mean over feeding.

Well let me clarify that... what corals are you spot feeding? I don't spot feed any of mine .

And as for overfeeding it depends on the tank, hard for one to say just why what foods and how often. If you constantly have algae or algae on the glass it will fuel their populations. Minimize nutrients and they will be kept to small numbers.
