I am looking for some of these, hopefully for cheap if possible. If anybody knows where I can find some I will pay for shipping and willing to trade some zoanthids also.....I have a aptasia problem that is getting out of control and driving me nuts....If any body an help me out it will be much appreciated.....

Hey James, I just saw an Ebay auction for some. Let me go see if I can find them again.

I saw that eBay auction and I went right to the company that was selling them. I got a deal on shipping that way. So far I haven't seen any reduction of aptasia.....

They are $12 each, and $39 shipping. The guys name is coralandbar - I have never dealt with him before. He has about 400 or so feedbacks, and the recent ones he sold berghia too seem happy. Check him out?

I was/am looking around for them also, and this place seems to me to be the cheapest around...and they will ship a wide variety of ways (overnight, 2 day USPS, etc...)

has anyone just tried a copperband?

I would try half a dozen true peppermint shrimps, if you zap the big ones with kalk paste or some other method, they'll eat the small ones for you....

Cheers Shelton.

No, but for some reason I just don't like the look of the butterflies. Pain in the butt fish, imo. I've watched my friend Jaime kill 3 of them in her tanks, no idea why. All her params are good, I geven got her to install a fuge for higher bioload carrying capacbility/stability just in case. No luck.

Weird.

Lol, Please do not attempt a copper band for the sole purpose of eating aptasia.

Read up on them extensively.
We finally got 1 after 5 years of looking at them and noticing all of the stress markers, and probably fatal, stress markers after reading about them for about 4 hours total.
It ate well at the LFS in that was the only reason I considered taking it home.

Paul B has an excellent write-up on them.
