I know this may sound far fetched but I just purchase a 120 set-up that has approx. 135 lbs. of mixed live rock (including Manono, Fiji, Tongan) however all of which is covered with aptasia. The rock is very nice with the exception of these pests. I will be getting the LR this Sunday. Is there any Aptasia eating nudi breeders out there that need to replenish there LR with aptasia covered ones. I remember a thread earlier in the year that people were actually looking for aptasia. This being said, I am willing to trade my LR for you LR if you are in need of aptasia. If not I will kill them off myself. I am located in Aliso Viejo, OC 92656. Thanks for looking!

Don't mean to sound sarcastic, but why would someone need aiptasia? Are you giving LR away?

Because some people raise animals that eat aptasia?

Just though someone might need some aptasia to feed the Berghia Nudibranch's if they are raising them. Since I won't be setting up my new tank until Jan, IF I have no takers I will probably try peppermints or CBB in a holdout tank and see if it works. If not who know's. Its great looking rock...maybe I might kill them all off by keeping all LR out of water and then cure LR again before putting it back into display tank.

I know it sounds rediculous. Something we all try to eliminate and I am trying to trade them away and see if anyone needs them. We will see, no worries if I don't have any takers.

I had an aiptasia problem and tried a CBB but it died in 6 days. I recomend getting a Klien's Butterfly it ate all of the aiptasia in a week and now it eats flake and frozen.

I think John (badmort ) was the guy who needed aptasia for his nudis.
