Feather duster removal?

[SmyrnaReefer]

What's the best way to get rid of these?

Why on earth would you want to do that? Unless I'm sorely mistaken, they don't hurt anything.

Pull them out manually and send them to me.

I love filter feeders! Don't know why anyone wouldn't want them, but that's your choice.

 

[SmyrnaReefer]

It's not that they are bad, just that they are everywhere.. And multiplying..

That's crazy...I've never seen so many just grow out of the sand like that!

 

[SmyrnaReefer]

they are on the rocks also.... copperband maybe? something else that doesn't like them?

Prazi-pro may just do the trick

 

[Chrisreefer]

Camel shrimp. Don't use chemicals

 

[jedimasterben]

If you're just gonna kill them, will you some my way?

 

[jamey1010]

Prazi-pro is far more reef safe than camel shrimp

 

[jedimasterben]

Feed your tank.

Certain wrasses will wipe them out. And most of them are fairly reef safe depending on the size and everything. I have a yellow coris that doesn't touch any inverts other than bristleworms and pods. Just do some reasearch on reef safe wrasses, if that is your route.

 

[Eienna]

Yeah, gosh, send some to me XD
Why not ask someone who collects them for the trade? Maybe said person could tell you how to safely remove and sell them!

These guys are hardy and have soft tubes should be easy to scrap/pull out and throw them in ur sump

There one of the best filter feeders that your tank can have naturally for waste organics. Most people (as you can see) would pay you money for frags. I'd keep and regulate but not wipe out totally.

 

[twistedfinn967]

Wow, that's a problem that I wouldn't mind having!

Copperband Butterfly will wipe them out. That is the tradeoff I had to make when I added the CBB. In return the CBB also wiped out all the aptasia in the tank and is a beautiful fish. For some reason he hasn't touched my Coco Worm.

Cbb can go after other prized corals as well I would evaluate ur feeding maybe u have a new increase of nutrients causing the bloom of dusters I would say the population will begin to level out
