Pest Anemones Are Everywhere Help!!
About 4 day ago i was looking in my newly setup(about 1 week old) 24 gallon nano cube setup. When i see this thing that look like little anemones. My brother then told me that they where pest anemones9which are very hard to get ride of). I had about 7-9 then( from what i saw) and now i have about 50-60 of them i got some Joe's Juice and spent about 40 mins. feed these things but there are so many. They are everywhere. I think i might get them all and live 2-3 and then it will start and over again. So is their any other way to get this pest out. I MEAN ANYTHING!!!Will they all die when my lever's spike up. If i killed the LR would it reseed itself during the cycling period.
Thanks Joe

Peppermint Shrimp are pretty effective at eating aptasia.

I have had great luck with pepermint shrimp, I would get 2 for your tank. I put 8 of them in my 95 gallon, I had Aptasia anenome's all over the place. Not a one left now. I tried the other cures, boiling water injections, Kalkwasser injections, Aptasia stop, it is a lost cause unless you get the very first one, before they replroduce.
Good luck

Yes kill them all, they are a pain in the *** to get rid of though . I had about 40 in my old tank which had to be removed one at a time. To get them off the live rock I mixed up a dose of calcium(which I was going to add to the tank anyways)added a bit of water, then injected the anemones with a syringe. Almost imediatly they shrivel and can just be pluked off with tweezers. Could try injecting them with joes juice but I have never used it so I wouldnt know if it would work. It takes alot of time but at least you dont have to kill the rock so to say. Thats just the method I used someone else may have a better idea which I would also be curious to know. Good Luck

They wont eat majanos..mine never touched them... I use Kalk paste and that works well, shoot a little ball into them and the close up never to open again. But there always seems to be 2 or 3 that you don't see and then.... there back.

What all is in your tank? If it's pretty empty.....
well, lets just say....on the joe's juice site, some guy mentions accidentally tipping a whole bottle into his tank. Killed only the bad stuff, and supposedly he had corals and things in there. If your tank is new, and just rock and sand...might be worth a try. |
