Couldn't you, perhaps, sell some? I mean, people love to buy cheap CUC. I myself need to replace some of mine that got eaten by my army of wrasses.

Slowly disappeared over a couple of months after i posted about them. Haven’t seen one in about 4 months. I didn’t really do anything to them.

Reviving this thread! You are very lucky! I am working on fixing my Medusa Worm Infestation. Literally Hundreds in my Tank. It’s a Red Sea Reefer 750XXL. As I am typing this I broke my tank down and have everything in totes. The tank’s Temperature is at 91 degree’s currently and I have put the Salinity to 50 PPT. At this salinity range is when I found finally the medusa worms are being eliminated. At the moment I have hundreds floating around the tank. Here are some images before and after!

I banished my peppermint shrimps to my overflow after they started to eat my elegance! Long live the overflow life!

I'm having an infestation myself. I found that fresh water kills them quickly. I have 100s in my tank. I'm not sure what to do to get rid of all of them.

Medusas are only mildly toxic as i understand no so bad as a cuke . I myself wouldnt be worries about them and think theyre neat. You could always add an appropriate sized wrasse to help keep pop. down.

It's hard not to worry when the research says their toxins can release and essentially tile out your tank. It's says if the toxin get in their gills it can wipe out your tank. ? I found them in my charts yesterday, so bring on the research. Advice welcome.
