Any update on the effectiveness of the butti simply encase them in super glue whenever i see them and it rids me of the problem, now

Is there any fish that will eat Berghia?

I am dealing with aiptasia problem but I am wondering if my fish will eat Berghia?

I have melanarus wrasse, royal flasher wrasse, yellow tang, flame hawkfish, yellow tang, Borbonius, helfrichi, dartfish, and Molly Miller blenny.

Honestly I just use lemon juice on my aiptasia. Squeeze a lemon, suck up the juices with a syringe, squeeze a small amount right into the face of the aiptaisia. I am trying to get rid of mine because it is growing out of my GSP, and its been opening less fully since the aiptaisia is there. The lemon juice technique has worked on all 3 I have gotten rid of, except this on large on, that dies, but keeps coming back.

I’m pretty sure my melanarus and yellow corus wasse eat berghia like candy.

Peppermint worked for me but now trying to decide if I want to keep them since I want some soft coral and LPS
Berghia ate a good amount but didn't got all of them
Injecting (Kalk, lemon juice, Joe Juice) had partial success
Gorilla glue on frag plug must have missed a spot

Any fish that eats aiptasia will eat berghias. Wrasses too will eat them. I'd bet the Hawk might give it a go too.

Kalk paste and peppermint shrimp work best for me. You may have to lose the eel.

Molly Miller Blennies are known to eat aptasia. Very entertaining fish whether you have aiptasia or not.

Except I have never seen him eating aiptasia

 

[canadianeh]

what if I replace the rocks in my tank? Will that eliminate the aiptasia?
