Had a small betta tank and turned it into a small, I repeat small pod nursery. My pods were doing awesome. Had bubbler, heater, food and light. Some time later added macroalgae. Pods started disappearing. Long story longer, freaking aiptasia was in my chaeto eating my pods. I unplugged everything and forgot about it in December till today. Chaeto still alive, can't believe it. Question is do you think the indestructible aiptasia is also? And would it be safe to add to fuge?

Hi! Where did you purchase your chaeto? ~Shaun K
 
If you don't have any aiptasia in your tank, I would not chance it. If it was there, it probably still is. I don't think it would be dead if the chaeto is still alive. Kinda like a cockroach ... never dies.
 
Yea it's a nightmare waiting to happen. Thanks Mark3 guess I'll toss the whole thing. I have enough stuff in the fuge anyway.
