HELP: What Is This and Is It Bad

[Thomas GRANT Quinlan]

Update: the aiptsia out break was 90% erraticated with Aiptsia-X!! Worked amazingly well.

Now, to keep these pests out of the tank I am considering Berghia nudibranch, File Fish or a peppermint shrimp. Suggestions?

I hear the file fish do not always eat the aiptsia and will eat some soft corals.

Also, when all the aiptsia are gone what does the Berghia nudibranch eat?

Thank you in advance.

I have a Butterfly that likes aiptsia. I, also found, Lemon Juice in a syringe and fine plastic needle works well on killing the aiptsia one at a time. I have used it on Quarantined corals. I then do not have to put the aiptsia in my Display Tank.

The Berghia die after all Aptasia are gone. Keep a lookout for more Aptasia coming back after using AptasiaX . I find that using that stuff is like playing whack-mole.
