Yeah this aiptasia problem is a little bigger than i had originally noticed...these bast@rds are everywhere. Must be 40 or so.

I had an aiptasia outbreak around 3 weeks ago. Had probably around 300 of them in my 150gallon display. Bought around 30 berghia and within 2 weeks, wiped out 90% of the aiptasia. Ive tried peppermints, copperband and all sorts of ways of killing them manually but had no luck with those. Filefish im iffy about since I have a lot of zoas.

You didn't need to buy 30 of them. LOL But to each their own, I purchased mine years ago from a guy in kitchener, He bred them but now he sells to the stores I believe, It was in an old building off of Huron. Anyway he grew Apstatia for them to eat. Tanks filled with Apstatia. Just the funniest thing.

Not sure if it is the raise in temp I did from 77/78 to 78/79 or if my shrimp acquired a taste suddenly, but mine are vanishing.
