aptasia

Aptasia out of control. Tried peppermint, 2 filefish and Berghia. Has anyone had success w lasers or wands? If so, please give recommendations. Thx

Hi folks. I need help identifying this pests. I’ve seen them before on my DT on a few rocks, but now they are all over the place and specially on all surfaces of my sump. Please help me confirm this is aptasia or something else? Thanks

I have a my aptasia eating file fish up for grabs. I purchased it from ocean devotion as a quarantined fish a couple months ago . He ate aptasia right away even really large ones that I thought he wouldn’t touch , but also eats frozen food and pellets. The only reason I’m selling him is...

This tank has been up for almost 6 months. I bought this light maybe a year ago (CoraLife 30”-36”). Tank size - 13.5g fluval 13.5 I found out recently that I can set a (rise/fall) to mimic the sunrise and sunset. The lights are on for 10 hours (including mimicry) I have a simple reading on my...

I noticed two Aiptasia have popped up in my nano tank. It got me thinking how i could manage them. One i could easily remove the rock and super glue, the other would be more of a challenge. Knowing that this won't be my last time dealing with them, i had a random thought of a "diy" Reef Delete...

I’ve been reefing for two years and had a bunch of corals during my time but I’ve never seen aptasia in my tank. Started off with all dry rocks . i don’t quarantine any of my corals and I don’t have a specific vendor Am I lucky ? Or is there other people out there that doesn’t have it either...

Yes I have read the terms and agree to them. I have 5 Berghia nudis that are an inch long ready to go. $20 a piece plus shipping. standard 2hr DOA. I am not at fault for shipping delays but I will work with customer.

I’m not really sure what I’m looking at just hope it’s not aptasia. Any ideas what this is and if it is aptasia how am I going to get rid of it without killing the Zoanthid?

I have a few Berghia I’d like to sell off as they have accomplished their work in my reef. They are Adult size. Voracious appetite. $10 a piece, 10 Available *Sacramento Local Pick Up Only*

Hey guys, I've had my tank almost a year and all my parameters are fantastic, corals and fish doing great. The issue is the insane bubble algae problem and aptasias i have. A friend recommended to just het new rock but... i have so much rock in my set up i dont wanna ruin it. What do you think...

I have an 80 gallon tank, 3ftx2ftx2ft or 90cm x 60cm x 60cm (if ya nasty). I am looking for a few fish that will do certain things. I would like to have a small shoal of fish that could work as dithers (not anthias), a fish/invert that will eat aptasia(sp?) and a fish that will eat parasites...

This research study provides in-depth detail, with time lapsed dated photos as the study played out. In 2012 had a Aiptasia breakout, they were totally wiped by using Berghia nudibranch‘s. To be honest, I took those Berghia for granted. In 2017 had another Aiptasia outbreak hit my reef, l felt...

Hello All! Attached is a photo I would like some critter ID, on, I think they may be messing with some of my corals. I've circled the organisms in question What I think to be aptasia is in red, and the mystery organism is in green. The green ones are little stony rods that are forming all...

Hello everyone welcome to the reset of my 200 gallon Build. As some of yall may have seen i've been battling aptasia for almost a year and i've discovered that in my refugium there is a aptasia. It was only in the display that was covered. Now it's in the refugium which was the last straw. I...

I’m servicing a clients tank and they have these small aphasia looking things everywhere with an unusual (pretty?) coloration. They seem resistant to aptasia x. Historical pearlscale butterflies will eat them I’m told. Anyone know what these are?

Hey Guys, Just noticed this small tentacle like hanging out from the base of the toadstool coral (directly from the skin, not the rock of the coral). Is this aptasia or a baby toadstool?

I have a new 180-gallon DT and an existing 75 gallon. I wanted to move some of my live rock & corals to the new DT but they are covered in Aptasia. (Aptasia X was a big fail...) I will be saving my coral by carefully removing it from my live rock and transferring it to my DT. My first...

Hey guys! Long time no see so I have a pretty big aptasia problem I currently have a six line wrasse, I have been doing aptasia x, but they seem to spread to other places after. I’m guessing when they stress during, they’re releasing their babies. I really want to get 5 or 6 (medium size is...

When cleaning my tank my trachi closed up slightly and I noticed this weird thing underneath with an aptasia looking thing but clear and there was a funnel sort of thing under it. Really unsure as to what it is. I've had the trachi for about 4 months now but have only noticed this today

A few months ago my lfs convinced me to buy some live rock to speed up my cycle. It was a huge mistake. First, I got GHA. Next, I saw an aiptasia coming out of the rock. They sold me some F-Aptasia to get rid of it. It worked. The next day I saw multiple aphasia coming out of the rock along...

Dear reefers, I got this green star polyp 1 month ago and now notice there's a possible aptasia? Anyone can verify? thanks! Attached video below taken during light off with ambient room light, polyps all closed up.

I was given someone’s setup to take care of consisting of a couple live rocks, 2 clowns and a frogspawn coral, I noticed a good handful of small aptasia on one of the rocks so have removed it and boiled it and it’s currently sat out in the sun so hoping it’s done the trick! I do appreciate it...

Current set up: I have a 55 gallon fish only tank with a yellow-hooded eye tang, a pair of mated clowns, a red hawkfish, and lots of coraline algae and a green grassy macro algae (feels like astro turf). The lights on that one are blue spectrum and a bright white. I run a canister filter on...

While I wait for my berghia to do the job, I still deal with aptasia. One of them stung this chalice from the edge and there are now white blotches developing. There is no way I can get this rock out of the tank. Foundational stone. any Thoughts ? you can see the blotches along the bottom edge.

So I was just wondering if I could glue part of the side of a frogspawn skeleton that has aptasia or something growing on it? It’s near the bottom of the skeleton but kind of on the side as well.
