AIPTASIA!!!!
It's a pest, buy peppermint shrimp, Joes Juice, or a Copperband Butterfly (remember you risk butterflies eating coral as well)

figures it would be a pest........ I couldn't be THAT lucky to randomly have a coral in my tank :squigglemouth:
shrimp are out of the question as I have a lionfish in the tank. is there a different butterfly fish I could get? Copperband's are beautiful, but I have read they are hard to keep for long.....I might try one if I can get an OK sized one less than $35ish... if it's too small it would just be an expensive snack lol
Kleins are even better than Copperbands with Aiptasia!
I take it this is a FO? If so then you need a butterfly in there anyway

What size is the tank? I wouldn't put a butterfly in too small of a tank. Aiptasia X has worked well for me in the past. A Kalk slurry can also do the trick but sometimes you have to go back a second time and shoot them again.

good to know, my LFS had a Kleins there yesterday(..or was it the day before....:neutral:?? lol) for a decent price.Kleins are even better than Copperbands with Aiptasia!

it is a FOWLR ATM or at least that's how I had set it up but there are polyps on 1/3 of the rocks, also has a foxface in it ATM (hasn't touched the polyps yet :bigsmile
I had plan to have coral in it as well. do butterflies pick at SPS or is it more of a concern for LPS/clams?
it's a 40g, however I'm just waiting for a guy to sell the rest of his coral so I can buy his 150g. UPGRADE!!!:xd:
