Melanurus Wrasse in overflow & adding Berghia nudibranch's today...

[phillybean]

So, I'm losing my battle with Aiptasia, too many and poor access to get them with any Aiptasia treatment isn't really an option, Aiptasia eating file fish doesn't eat them, tried a Copperband, also without success. 4 Peppermint Shrimp haven't made an impact plus I can't even see them. Ordered some Berghia's which I pick up today. I was worried about my Melanurus Wrasse eating them, but yesterday I found him in the overflow. No idea how it got there, very little room for that to happen, but now I'm thinking of leaving it in there for a month or so. Fish is probably 2" long, overflow is 6x6 and about 26" tall. Obviously I'd add food directly to the overflow, he eats clams so I could even drop a clam in there.

Thoughts?

The berghia nudis will sort out your aiptasia issue. Regarding the wrasse, keep him there. He'll be fine as long as you feed him. Have you thought of moving him to the sump?

Move him that’s not cool

Get Berghias and it’s over in 2-3 months

Keep him separated and good luck

Berghia Nudibranchs for the Dreaded Aiptasia Anemone

First off I don't consider myself an expert reefer. I'm just one person that's been in the hobby for many years and, I'm still learning. I also like to help others to be successful too. So, I want to write this piece to help others make a decision while dealing with an Aiptasia outbreak to this...

I have, but he's a jumper for sure and I don't have a way to cover the sump, I think if I put him in there, he'll be gone soon.

Welp,
If he goes back into your display, he'll eat your nudis
