If it is just a few small ones, I recommend “F Aiptasia.” It encrusts them and I have never gad one come back. That Aiptasia X junk is a joke.

F aptasia. I love the name. Encrusts them? I like super glue.

... Yeeeeah I'd separate any wrasse from ANY invertebrate, not just nudibranchs. They'll devour them in short order. Use F Aiptasia. It's basically super glue, but more controllable underwater.

Mine was in salt water for 5 years. It is pest free though.

Lol. Well that sort of goes out the window the first time you add a coral

Well, let me maybe correct that a bit. It is my belief that try as hard as we do by using dry rock and strict introduction protocols pets still get in. There is no stopping Mother Nature

I mean I started with 170 lbs of dry pukani and I have Aptasia. It is possible it came in from my previous display that I upgraded but I do not recall seeing any.

Be that as it may just my take on things. I do know my daughter was happy I didn't raid her college fund for the TBS rock I originally planned - lol.

And to think of when we got those live rocks from Walt Smith loaded with all sorts of stuff back in the 90s and before. I do miss those days of cool stuff growing in your tank that you didn't buy.

Yeah - my first batch of live rock was ordered through harbor aquatics I think it was. The live stuff from Fiji wrapped in news paper and shipped overnight. Maybe even two day back then. Fun stuff for sure.

Edit: Oh @Fin your avatar reminded me the other day to pick up the 45th anniversary of Jaws

I did, it arrived today. Hope the 4k version is great.

I have found a couple of aptasia in the dream. I can't pull the rock and peppermint shrimp are almost impossible to find at the moment in my neck of the woods.

I would like to cover these. Suggestion on what I could use underwater.

if you can get ahold of an insulin needle or something of the like you can inject boiling water into the flesh around the mouth or this of course..

I will take sponges and macroalgae, but you can keep your bristleworms, aptasia, and other mysterious hitchikers like the random baby mantis shrimp.

Lol or pull the rock out of the tank and take a lighter to them that will solve the problem also and I am almost certain they can’t reproduce from a tiny pile of ash
