Ball anemones

[mcmc1717]

I have a ball anemone problem, these little suckers are reproducing at a fairly fast rate, and they are growing quite large for their species. They normally wouldn't be a problem but they are "protecting" the brown algae on my rocks from my snails. My peppermint shrimp doesn't touch them and so I need something to kill them, I read on another persons forum that anemone poison only keeps them off for about a month. So if there is any animal that can eat them please tell me.

Are there any species of sea slugs that might do that?

Nudibranch

 

[mcmc1717]

@mcmc1717 ... I have a glass ball nem infestation. Which methods did you end up trying?
