Peperment shrimp/aspestia need idea's

[m and m]

So i bought a nice coral from my LFS about a month ago and it came home with three things of aspesta on the bottom side. Now i have found a fourth on the rock. Any ideas on how to get rid of them? I guess kalk past will work for the one that is on the live rock, but the three on the bottom side of the chalice i dont feel confertable useing calk past? Any ideas? My other thought was maybe a peperment shrimp, but it seems last time i put 2 in there they both died at the hands of my two clowns and yellow tang. It seems they have grown acustom to eating meat, its a fight to fead my dendro's and lps any more also any ideas on how to get them to ease up on trying to eat my "rods food" when i feed coral?

We had 2 pepermint shrimp in our 120 and they kept them at bay.

take the chalice frag out of your tank and physically remove all the aspestias and rinse your frag and make sure there is no tissue left on your frag.

you see i have thee fish that seem to like to pick at them.. i've seen them kill to already.

I think i might do that just take them out and scrub them with a tooth brush, i feel more confertable doing that then kalk past on the bottome of a coral.

aspestias ?? I take it your talking about

Ever tried Berghia Nudibranchs? All they live for is eating Aiptasia and breeding, no more aiptasia then they die.

Aiptasia Anemone

I use a razor blade to cut them right off the rock. Just take a little of the rock with like you are fragging a zoo or shroom.

A shot of "liquid" calcium will kill them and the calcium does not hurt your tank. Works better than all the other stuff on the market. If they are really big may take 2 shots. Use a syringe and inject them right in the mouth or stump. Any of the bottled liquid calcium will work.
