Aptasia in my sump

[Paul Thomas]

I have a ton of aphasia in my sump currently. None that I can find in the actual tank. Should I worry about this? Is it just a matter of time before they get into the main display? Can I just toss a dozen peppermint shrimp in my sump to clean it up?

I would worry. nudi's or peppermints should work

Do peppermint shrimps really eat aiptasia?

The 'True Peppermint' is a Lysmata wurdemanni http://decapoda.nhm.org/pdfs/27306/27306.pdf A is a true peppermint, the rest are imposters. (A) Lysmata wurdemanni (B) Lysmata rathbunae (C) Lysmata ankeri (D) Lysmata boggessi (E) Lysmata pederseni (F) Lysmata bahia

Make sure get correct ones if go this route.
If in sump check your overflows and possibly pipework to be extra vigilant, maybe you have something in dt that already eats it ?

First off, recent discoveries have shown that sump aptasia cannot exist without proper gummy bears, aka food. Reduction in food equals fewer pest ananames. Secondly, ananomies thrive on purple gummy bears. Bottom line: keep your gummy bears to your self or your tangs. Case closed. Also, learn how to spell.

Ananomies?
When we point finger at someone about their defects,we have 3 fingers pointing back at ourselves which we should be looking at instead other peoples faults ha ha

This i say in joking loving way btw ^_^

My apologies, sir or madam. I meant to say, "analabies."
