Yeah, rocks in to stay lol's. I brought the sponges in from old tank on that first rock. Thanks on the plate. So a syringe with h2o2 shot into them? I imagine a bit at a time so not a big die off.Wow! Mine have never bothered corals- at least the little yellow/green ones haven't. I know higher levels of silicates can cause some sponge "outbreaks". If you want to get rid of some, maybe spot treating with H2O2 would work? (I'm assuming you can't take the rock/coral out of the tank...)
Beautiful plate coral, btw
See, I would have gone straight to the turtle
can't see me putting a turtle in my tank lol'sSee, I would have gone straight to the turtle
Yep, that's what I've read. Either a syringe with H2O2 or boiling water... For any that are on your coral, I think the H2O2 is a safer bet.
Me either, t'was a joke
I think they are but I think I have too much. Esp. dripping like icicles !
I know lol'sMe either, t'was a joke
Sadly, I don't know much about the specifics with the sea stars and nudibranchs. Simply plucking sponges off the live rock worked for me, though I would follow the advice of other on this thread since I have never had an urgent need to eliminate sponges.
yeah, that is why I don't have any yet. Tank is 9 mo but an upgrade.
Out of curiosity, do you know which starfish eat sponges?
What size tank?
Orange biscuit starfish (reef safe with caution but likes cooler temperatures), linckia (I highly caution against getting one though due to their sensitivity, needing a tank of no less than a year old, and being an expert level starfish), chocolate chip sea star (not reef safe), and some others.
