I've been dealing with these stupid little buggers for probably 5 months now. I started out by targeting them with some Aiptasia X stuff and that would make them go away for a while but not for good. That was frustrating but I kept doing it because it would make it look good for a while, came to find out the the back of a few of my rocks were COVERED in huge ones. :yell: So I ended up taking about about 40LBS of rock and adding 35lbs back in. That has definitely helped some. Now I just have a few little ones here and there that I can get rid of pretty easily. I can't really do the Berghia Nudibranchs because my tank is home to many a wrasse and the same goes for peppermints. So I'm fine with just dosing to get rid of the rest in the display. My question though is I noticed the other night that I probably have 40-50 in my Overflow area :censored::censored::censored::censored: I can reach the few that are higher up but there are some that I just can't get to. I had an idea to throw some peppermints in there but they might get sucked into the overflow. My other thought was putting a filefish in there see if he cleans it out then take it back. I wanted to get some thoughts though and see if anyone else has an idea?

Thanks
 
I have the same problem in both 65 and 120....only have 5 to 10 in the 65 but 50 or more in 120....I have let them be as they are not going in my display tank and that makes it easy on me and hasn't really caused me any stress in the main tank.
